Ruth Matete had found solace, comfort and genuine love that brought her closer to God by dating the late Pastor John Apewajoye after a bitter break up with former Tahidi high actor, Prince Tsyder.

“Sweetheart, thank you for making an honest woman out of me.” Ruth Matete Apewajoye wrote in one of her so many emotional posts dedicated to her Pastor hubby,

“They say you should be complete before your partner comes along. But the truth is there are some aspects that can only be complete when one has the right partner by their side.”
