This is Winnie. A 20 year old lady from Dandora phase 4. She was born with an unusual blue eyes in her family. Some of her friends call her "macho ya mzungu" meaning white eyes.
Contrary to the opinion of many people, having blue eyes is not the exclusive preserve of Asians or Europeans; Black Africans can also have blue eyes, and there are many explanations for this.
First, one can have blue eyes as a result of a genetic mutation.
Blue eyes also come about when a person of African ancestry has Caucasian relatives on both sides of the family who are carriers of the gene for that particular eye color.
Apart from genetic mutation, blue eyes can also be caused by Waardenburg Syndrome, a deficiency inherited from a single parent who may display similar characteristics.
Let’s hear from you. Have you have seen a Black African with natural blue eyes before?
