Former Tusker Project fame winner Ruth Matete has in an interview with Ebru TV opened up about growing up in an abusive home.

Matete who is the daughter to Kenyan actor Abel Amunga says,

My mum got me when they were in high school and they did not get married so I stayed with my mum for the first 6/7 years of my life.

3/4 years after I came to Nairobi, my step mum came to the house and packed all her things and left. My dad decided from then on it would only be him and I. He promised to take care of me till I am able to stand on my own something he still does.
