Nakuru, Kenya: Deep in an expansive sisal plantation in Rongai, Nakuru County, is a cosmopolitan population of squatters whose forefathers abandoned their ancestral homes to slave for a foreign billionaire sisal investor.
Everyday, they brave thorny sisal thickets and poisonous snakes to toil under a scorching sun and the unblinking eyes of harsh supervisors, all this to ensure that spinning mills are constantly supplied with millions of tonnes of sisal threads.
