Vike opens up about her dad

According to the lady, life in Majengo was interesting; but at the same time embarrassing all thanks to her dad. This is apparently because her dad was one known alcoholic who could not go a day without alcohol.

Speaking about him, Jacky Vike described her dad as a loving caring and God fearing man; who also loved to drink.

He loved alcohol but was the most responsible father who treasured education and loved God.

Embarrassing moments

According to Vike, the whole neighborhood in her area was aware about her dad’s bad drinking habit; and often, neighbors call her mum to come rescue or rather carry her drunk husband who often fell into water ditches Mtaro.

 He was a drunkard. When a day passed without my mother being called to pick her husband, it was surprising. Sometimes we would be taking supper and hear screams outside, ‘Kujeni mchukue Baba Bony ameanguka kwa Mtaro na atanyongwa na maji. And we would run to his rescue.

But all in all, she went on to add how much the fella brought sunshine in their lives; before his untimely demise that left them fatherless.

Speaking about his death, Vike said that he fell ill one evening and the next morning, he never woke up. Truly sad, but at least we now know where she got her funny character from.
