Since most of us if not all of us are King Kaka’s fans and all, we know all about his upbringing in the past and how his mother was struggling to pay for his school fees when he was going to school back in the day, and through it all, he emerged to be a winner after all those trials and tribulations.
“Na muulize Mrs. Wakaba kwa class mi sikuwa malenge/ even though mom alikuwa anauza maembe na malenge” – a verse off King Kaka’s Mistarillionaire record.
Some of the people who eased the pain of their struggle and tribulations back in the day when he was still in school are Mr. and Mrs, Wakaba. King Kaka opened up to let the whole world that Mrs. Wakaba was so invested and believed in him since she was his primary school teacher and later on convinced her husband, Mr. Wakaba to pay for him his form 1 school fees, of which King Kaka is very grateful for to this day so much so that he considers them to be his parents as well.
King Kaka who is now an established international artiste in the music industry met up with the Wakabas who have since relocated to Seatlle, Washington and shared an African meal of ugali, mboga na nyama at their home.
King Kaka wrote after meeting up with Mr. and Mrs. Wakaba in Seattle, Washington in USA after a very long time;
“The Power Of Love. This is Mr and Mrs Wakaba. Just from eating Ugali , Mboga and Nyama in Seattle USA. Mrs Wakaba was my Primary school English teacher. She believed in me and later convinced the husband to help me with my school fees. So my form 1 was swift thanks to this amazing family. I now call them Mom and Dad and it was such an honor to reUnite . May God bless them.”
