Bradley Marongo, now widely known as the “Gen Z Goliath,” has drawn national attention due to his extraordinary height of 8.2 feet.
The 27-year-old father of two, who works as a tout in Nairobi, initially gained fame during anti-government protests when his towering presence went viral.
His height has made him a social media sensation, attracting both admiration and curiosity.
Despite the attention, Marongo faces everyday challenges, like finding clothes and shoes that fit, particularly his size 48 footwear which needs to be custom-made.
Recently, Marongo’s fame surged further after a video of him participating in the viral “Hozambee Challenge” spread across social media.
In the video, Marongo can be seen in a humorous scene where a lady dances on his lap, sparking reactions online.
This moment only solidified his place as a trending figure in Kenya’s online culture.
Despite the visibility and opportunities, Marongo has turned down some offers, including a position in the National Police Service.
His life in Nairobi remains relatively modest, with reports indicating he lives in Kangemi, where he has to bend to enter his home due to his height.
The combination of fame and personal challenges gives Marongo’s story a unique blend of humor, inspiration, and relatability that continues to capture the attention of Kenyans.
