JACKIE MATUBIA MOURNS THE LOSS OF HER FATHER

Kenyan actress Jackie Matubia is grieving the loss of her father, who passed away. 

The heartbroken star shared the news on her social media with an emotional tribute, “Heaven surely couldn’t wait for you, my Father 💔💔💔💔.”

Matubia first revealed her father’s cancer diagnosis in June 2024, detailing his battle throughout multiple chemotherapy treatments. Despite the physical toll, her father remained strong.

During a past family gathering, her father, Mwangi, openly spoke about his cancer journey, saying that it was not a death sentence. In a moving speech, he credited his recovery to his deep faith and the support of his family, “It depends on how you interact with your God. I know my God, she [Matubia] knows my God, and my family knows my God. I’m healed.”

Reflecting on his lowest moments, he added, “There was a time I was 47kg less than a bag of cement. See, my hair is still intact. If you are going through such a thing, just know there is a God in heaven, a healer. Haijalishi unapitia nini (it doesn’t matter what you are going through). There’s always God.“

The actress has received an outpouring of support from fans and colleagues.
