The first wife of the late Benga maestro John Mwangi Ng’ang’a alias John De’Mathew, Sabina Wairimu, has told critics to keep off her affairs with her co-wife, Caroline Waithira.<\/p>\n
Wairimu who spoke to mourners after reading her tribute said there were some people inciting them but vowed to defy them.<\/p>\n
She said the second wife respected her as the first wife and that nothing could come between them saying the deceased had taught them to respect each other.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
“No one will come between us. I recognize Ms Waithira as the second wife and she respects me. In fact, when the late could not get his favourite shirt, I could call her to ask whether it was in her home. Our children love each other and it is hard to know which one belongs to which mother,” she said.<\/p>\n
“But there are some people trying to incite us, but let them know that we are strong than ever. I will take up John De’Mathew’s roles and continue supporting Ms Waithira and all her children.”<\/p>\n
She said the late singer was a symbol of unity in their family and was a peace loving man.<\/p>\n
A PARTNER<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
She described him as a partner, friend, a wonderful and loving man, a man of the people and a man full of life.<\/p>\n
On her part, the second wife described De’Mathew as a man who gave her a life and who fought for her at all times.<\/p>\n
“There was no dull moment for us and it was the best decision ever to marry him. I will now be the father of our children now that you taught me,” Ms Waithira said.<\/p>\n
His first born child Jane Waithira eulogised the late singer as a father figure saying if it was money that could save him, the whole country could contribute to save his life.<\/p>\n
In a moving tribute through a song, Ms Waithira said the family has been dealt a major blow.<\/p>\n
“Sleep well, if it was money needed to save your life, I believe everybody in the country would have contributed to save you but what can we say? We shall meet in future,” she said.<\/p>\n
Hundreds of artistes and mourners turned up for the event to give him the last respects.<\/p>\n
The artistes were led by Kikuyu musicians Muigai Njoroge, Ben Githae, Peter Kigia, Loise Kim, Epha Maina, Timona Mburu, Lady Wanja among others.<\/p>\n
The mourners and the artistes wore outfits with a picture of the late musician to express their love and support to the late.<\/p>\n
