Tusker Project Fame (TPF) 5 winner Ruth Matete has opened up about her life and struggles amidst the fame that came with winning the competition in 2012.
Speaking to Grace Ekirapa on Crossover 101, the worship leader at House of Grace church revealed that she got into TPF at a time when she was facing frustrations in her life and of how she was mocked for giving 1/10 of the Sh5 million prize money she won to the church as tithe.
“They wrote in newspapers that I am foolish to have given Sh500, 00 in church but I believe that tithe is what is keeping me right now,” stated Matete.
An only child and raised by a single dad, Matete stated that after winning TPF, she returned to church but was put on probation for 3 months.
