Renowned photojournalist and activist Boniface Mwangi had a rare moment on social media on Sunday when an award-winning South African singer showered him with praise.

Yvonne Chaka Chaka posted a tweet that she has watched "him grow and she's so proud of his achievements."

But that's not all. In an earlier tweet, the "Umqombothi" hitmaker said that she had come a long way with her son (Boniface) and attached an old photo of herself and Mwangi.

My son and I come a long way u going places boy ❤????????

Although she is not his real mother, Yvonne seems endeared to Boniface who is now eyeing the Starehe Parliamentary seat, maybe because they are both human rights activists.

What you may also not know is that at the age of 20, Boniface was Yvonne's photographer as she would seek his services when she visited Kenya.

But its not the first time the afro pop singer is referring to Starehe Parliamentary aspirant as her son.

In December last year, when Boniface had launched his Book titled 'BMUnBounded' Yvonne reffered to him as his Kenyan son adding he had become the voice of the voiceless.

Hanging out with my Kenyan son Boniface in Soweto. Boniface has grown to be the voice of the voiceless, the voice of reason
