Gor Mahia FC fans cleared traffic at the Bunyala roundabout, ensuring a smooth passage for a convoy of AFC Leopards supporters.

Leopards' fans were headed to Machakos for a highly anticipated match against Posta Rangers when they got stuck in traffic.

The gesture highlighted the deep bond that exists between Kenya's oldest football teams.

The AFC Leopards' convoy, conscious of being late for the 63-kilometer journey to Machakos, was pleasantly surprised when Gor Mahia fans stepped in to help clear the way.

As the convoy cruised through Nairobi, the AFC fans expressed heartfelt gratitude to their "Shemejis" (in-laws), recognizing the shared history that intertwines the two clubs despite the fierce competition on the pitch.

"Our shemejis, thank you for this gesture of sportsmanship," an AFC Leopards fan exclaimed. "We love you and hate you in equal measure.

The fan added that they "hate" Gor Mahia for taking their most beautiful women but also love them for putting up with them taking theirs.

The playful banter underscored the mutual respect between the fanbases of the two giant teams.

It also reflected the cultural ties between the Western and Nyanza regions from which AFC Leopards and Gor Mahia, respectively, hail.

Over the years, the two teams have developed a unique love-hate relationship.

They often refer to each other as "in-laws" due to the many intermarriages between their supporters.

Despite their rivalry, Gor Mahia and AFC Leopards have kept Kenyan football alive with their passionate fan bases and historic clashes.

Their combined influence has shaped the landscape of Kenyan football for decades.

Beautiful moments like this—where sportsmanship trumps rivalry—continue to strengthen the beautiful game in the country.
