Kuva tells the story of Ekema, a “no good” fisherman, down on his luck. In a fishing society where a man’s worth is a derivative of his fishing prowess, Ekema finds himself the lowest rung in the society’s ladder. He finds himself, through no want of efforts, unable to measure or match up to his mates which leads to constant ridicule from the society in general, but a certain Njie, the “King Fisher” in particular. His only source of solace is from his two friends, Eposi and Lyonga. He hates his fate and wishes he had more financially which will translate to more respect.
