It has been hard getting spears because as you might have heard we had clashes in Kenya early in the year when tribes went against each other because of bad politics. So anything that looks like a weapon cannot be handled in public neither can it be sold in a market or exhibition. It has relaxed somehow and you are only questioned when it is thought that you are going to arm an army. This is now behind us and we can continue as before.' We thank our suppliers for all of their efforts in helping us here at Authentic Africa maintain the authentic integrity of our selections. Our main priority is the safety of our aides. We are sure that our clients also respect and appreciate the oftimes great dangers that are associated with the procument of such goods.
