Majitu is a swahili term used to refer to mythological creatures/beings that were popular in African oral narrative.
Majitu, or Jitu in singular, as tales and legends have it, had mystical powers and could shape-shift to blend in
with humans.
Their interactions with humans at times led to conflicts, which seldom ended in favour of humans.
Majitu mythology is still popular, and in the 1980s was the subject of a locally produced TV series Sisi Majitu
on Kenya's National Broadcaster,
KBC (Kenya Broadcasting Corporation), formerly V.O.K (Voice of Kenya). There are also efforts
to revive these popular mythologies in the near future
in the form of an animated Majitu TV series of the same title.
