Kenya’s national women team captain Dorcas Shikobe has been forced to work at a restaurant in a bid to make ends meet amid a blanket ban on sports activities in the country. President Uhuru Kenyatta recently issued an indefinite ban on sports activities in a move he said will help curb the spread of coronavirus. As a result, the 31-year old can now be traced at a hotel in Thika where she works as a cook. The eatery is home to several low-income workers in the area and Shikobe has specialised in preparing meat stew and soup. Shikobe, who also turns out for Thika Queens in the Kenya Women Premier League, earns an average of Sh400 a day from his new hustle.
