You always told me I’m “THE BEST MUM EVER”, I don’t know what I did to deserve this compliment , I jus know I did the thing that I loved the most in the world, be your mother. God surely blessed me when he gave me you. On this day I can’t help but think about other parents who’ve just lost a child. Death may be a part of us yes, but the heartache of the loss of a child is immeasurable. May God continue to strengthen us all. RIP Keron Raphael Kabugo Atwooki #ForeverLoveKeron”

Posted on by Pauline Syombua

Ebru TV lost an additional two important hosts after Pierra Makena and Brenda Wairimu left the station. This came just days after popular DJ, Creme Dela Creme and Ofweneke left the show for KTN.

Wairimu, while speaking on “Let’s Talk Show” on K24 TV opened up on her reason of leaving saying that she found it hard to balance acting and working for the station.

“It was overwhelming for me because of just trying to find that balance. Niko acting set and I’m getting late for work, it’s eating into my character and I end up doing a terrible job there. I end up getting there (work), being flashed and not ready. I have always wanted to be an actor so hosting kind of comes after,”  She said.

Time to focus on one

Unlike Makena who left to focus on her personal stuff, Brenda had to choose between acting and hosting. She posted the announcement days after fans started asking why she’s no longer on the show.

“I’m sad to announce that I have decided I will no longer be on the ‘Let’s Talk Show’ and neither will I be working with the station. Sometimes in life, you feel that your happiness needs to be a priority and you take necessary steps to achieve that.” Read part of her post.

“Haya na waziri Mwakyembe ameingilia kati na kusema hakufurahishwa na kitendo hicho, naungana naye kabisa si busara Diamond kushindana na serikali na kama ana ushauri basi autoe kistaarabu.“Kama mzazi amenikwaza sana na sijafurahishwa hata kidogo, ninachomuomba kwa sasa amfuate Shonza na amuombe msamaha,atambue yeye ni sehemu ya kioo kinachoangaliwa na jamii,” Abdul Juma told Global Publishers.
