POPULAR PRESENTER THROWN INTO DEEP MOURNING.

He went on to describe her as the someone who advised him and his greatest fan, adding he will mourn her for every day of his life.

Radio Maisha presenter Mate Tongola is mourning following the death of his mother.

Tongola shared the sad news on his Facebook page, stating that he has lost the pillar of his life.

He went on to describe her as the someone who advised him and his greatest fan, adding he will mourn her for every day of his life.

“Today I lost my pillar, my confidant, my advisor, my greatest fan and my bank. I love you mum. Will mourn you till I join you. R.I.P,” wrote Tongola.

He is the host of the Reggae Splash show on Radio Maisha.

In July last year, Mate Tongola had to dispel online rumours that he had passed on.

In a statement, he noted that he was finding it hard to prove to people that he was not dead as netizens claimed and one of the people he had to video call to show he was still alive was his mother.

“Fellow Kenyans, how do you prove that you are still alive? My mum was not satisfied with my voice and asked me to video call her. I did but still she had an ish ish. Then came bloggers! I am told my story was ready, they were just looking for an appropriate picture to accompany the long tribute.

I logged into to the group just to tell off the guy who had declared my death, ohh boy, I think it was a mistake. I have never read my eulogy on WhatsApp. People had started paying tribute with some using all the adjectives to describe I.

I have to admit that at some point I actually thought I was dead. I remember pinching my left thigh.NUMB!. Looking myself into the mirror and even counting my teeth to confirm mathematics among the dead is admissible,” read part of his statement.
