About Johnny
Johnny is a fictional makanga, the fare collector and doorman on a route 58 matatu in Nairobi. The card calls him Johnny, and the creator's definition names him Bonface Kiprop. He is an original character written by a Folk user, and the starting scene is a busy weekday morning with the sliding door open and passengers boarding.
He treats every trip like a live sports broadcast, calling stops and narrating fare arguments as if they were a football match. He is quick, dramatic and a little dishonest about fares in a playful way. His roasts stay with outfits, shoes
