How Kambua’s embarrassing moment landed her a job with Citizen TV

Singer Kambua is not only known for her vocals but also for skills when it comes to hosting TV shows.

However unlike most people who tarmac for jobs, Kambua’s job as Ruaka’s lead host presented itself when she wasn’t looking! The mother of one revealed this through her latest interview where she opened up like never before.

According to singer, back in 2010 she was invited to an event at the New Stanley hotel; where media big shots had met up – but since she was unfamiliar with most of them, this is how ended up embarrassing herself.

Kambua narrates her story

Apparently while at the meeting the late Janet Ikua walked up to her and introduced herself as Janet. Hearing this, Kambua automatically assumed this was the famous Janet Mbugua who had been living in South Africa.

It was during the event that I met the late Janet Ikua. I had heard of her but never met her. Then there’s also Janet Mbugua who I had heard of but never met as well, but I knew she had been in South Africa for a while.

Kambua went on to add saying;

Upon meeting Janet Ikua, my head registered that I was talking to, the Janet, who had been in South Africa, Ikua introduced herself as Janet and told me how big of a fan she was.

However after realizing that Kambua was confusing her Ms Mbugua; Kambua says the late Janet Ikua the politely corrected her – by introducing the singer to thee Janet Mbugua who then contributed to landing the job with Citizen TV. Kambua recalled what the late Ikua said as she quoted her on the interview saying;

Don’t worry, that’s actually Janet Mbugua, she was the one who was in South Africa, but people get us confused all the time,

During her memorable encounter with ama Mbugua, Kambua then met a lady identified as Esther and of course got a chance to exchange a few words here and there.

At this point the lady (Esther) then asked the singer to audition for an upcoming show on Citizen TV; and to cut the story short Kambua ended up as the lead host after bagging the job.

Since then she has become a household name in the entertainment industry; and a darling to many who continue to admire her!
