Kangundo women are referred to as "gold diggers."

    Kamba women are known for using heavy doses of love to tame males, but the Aombe clan, one of Kambaland's largest, is reputed to be too harsh and would not tolerate men who seem to be sluggish bones. Even though Aombe women are reputed to be damn difficult and iron-fisted single moms, Agnes Kalondu, an Aombe - one of the over 10 Kamba clans - believes that Aombe women are aggressive, with their good side being "workaholics who know how to coin their own wealth without troubling men." While the Kaos are not rigid about clans, they do have inaccessible places where women who are either too violent or randy for marriage are produced.

In terms of clans, the Aombe, one of Kambaland's largest, are known to be too combative and to take no nonsense from males who are lazy bones.

    Kangundo in Machakos County wins the prize for the most 'unmarriable' ladies, who are known money diggers that have no qualms about taking off a man's things, leaving just a pair of slippers and a lone shirt swinging from the rafters. Kangundo ladies are so wired, according to Makau Mwinzila, an elder from Kyanzavi, because of Kangundo's vicinity to Nairobi, which fuels their financial goal. "You'll see that, unlike other parts of Ukambani, they cultivate coffee in Kangundo. With a smile, he adds, "This tells you these are individuals whose DNA stinks of money and would go to any extent to achieve it." Kangundo women make up a sizable portion of Nairobi's call girls.

    A 78-year-old Kamba elder from Kilome in Makueni County, Peter Mwangangi, concurs. Masaku (Machakos) ladies, he adds, were seen as particularly wicked. "These ladies couldn't settle, which was not surprising given that they were experts at brewing kaluvu and dancing to wathi (traditional Kamba dance)," Mwangangi, whose wife is from Oloitoktok, explains. Mwangangi, a member of the Aiyini clan, claims that times change and that Kambas are now intermarrying with other tribes, particularly those from the coast. Mlolongo, Mtito Andei, Kibwezi, Makindu, Sultan Hamud, and Salama, centers along Mombasa Road where lengthy truckers pitch tents for a night of indulgence and depravity, are another bunch believed to be too hot to bear.

    "These ones have never learned the art of keeping their legs closed due to years of being seduced by cheap money by truck drivers," Mwinzila cautions. Take her home at your peril." Mwinzila singles out women from Kitui and parts of Makueni such as Mbooni as submissive and thus wife material, but Kiima Kiu's 60-year-old Mzee Kisilu Muange contradicts both, claiming that "women from Masaku are the best" and those from Makueni "especially Nunguni have very nasty tongues," in addition to being the headquarters of loose morals and dark powers.
