Is Salim Saleh a rasta?

Hunting for votes for big brother or genuine fraternity? Charismatic Maj.Gen Salim Saleh on Tuesday did not join the military top brass to celebrate Army Day - "Tarehe Sita", but instead dined and wined with Rastafarians at the lowly DV8 bar and Bistro on Wilson Road. The dread-locked tribe, worth thousands of votes, was marking the birthday of reggae legend Bob Marley. Trust Saleh, he shows up where he is least expected. At the function, which was overcast by the unmistakable scent of the weed, Radio Africa's Kaihura Nkuba couldn't resist throwing in a controversial punch. 'Rastas are the only one true race' he declared. And Africans should not change their nappy hair to the straight look, which only suits dogs. Tsk, Tsk! Ends
