They noticed a container of fresh milk left by the roadside, placed there for someone else to collect later.
Reached for comment, Kami told TUKO.co.ke that they stumbled on the container in Kajiado, the stretch towards Mashuruu.
"No fear of being poisoned or thieving. No fear of being done dirty. It was really beautiful to see," she said.
What the gesture meant
This simple yet profound gesture was not a careless abandonment but a deliberate act rooted in tradition.
It embodied the deep-seated trust and communal bonds that characterise traditional African societies.
This is because the residents firmly believe in their neighbours' integrity and goodwill.
"Witnessing this reaffirmed our belief in the intrinsic goodness of people and the strength of communal ties," Kami added.
The scene was a beautiful reminder that humanity remains untarnished in some parts of the world.
Social media reactions
Caroline Kat:
"At home, we leave the milk in the metallic gallon at the gate for the Nduthi guy to collect and ferry to the dairy. He measures, records on the card, and empties it. We only pick up the empty gallon, and nobody touches it."
Jaky Jay:
"Even at my home, we have a tree by the roadside where we leave the milk to be collected, then pick the containers later."
Halima Mohamed Salat:
"Unfortunately, that world is slowly vanishing."
