Renowned Kenyan gospel singer Anastacia Mukabwa has returned home from India following weeks of cancer treatment.
The ‘Kiatu Kivue’ hitmaker arrived on Friday evening, greeted with jubilant celebrations from fans and friends.
The news of her return was shared by Radio Citizen presenter Selly Kadot Amutabi, who posted a video on Facebook showing the joyous welcome at the airport.
Among those present was fellow gospel singer Evelyn Wanjiru, who joined in the festivities.
The video captured the emotional moment as Mukabwa led the group in singing her popular song ‘Kama Si Mungu,’ with everyone joining in and dancing, clearly overjoyed at her return.
Selly Kadot accompanied the video with a caption hinting at Mukabwa’s successful treatment for breast cancer in India.
She also announced a thanksgiving service on Sunday to celebrate this milestone.
“My big Sister Annastacia kiatu kivue is back from India. The journey continues as she wins the battle against cancer. Join us Sunday for a Thanksgiving at Imara Daima Cathedral of Praise Church,” Kadot wrote.
Mukabwa’s battle with cancer began with a series of misdiagnosed tests in 2023.
“I started tests in 2023 and the medics misled me, telling me the mammogram tests were nothing to worry about, so I just relaxed,” she said in a past interview.
It wasn’t until a biopsy this year that the true nature of her illness was revealed.
“This year, however, I went for biopsy tests, and the results were very saddening. I was diagnosed with breast cancer, I even struggled to accept the results,” Mukabwa shared. She sought multiple opinions to confirm the diagnosis before deciding to seek treatment abroad.
The successful treatment marks a significant milestone in Mukabwa’s journey, and her return is a source of inspiration and hope for many.
The thanksgiving service at Imara Daima Cathedral of Praise Church was a heartfelt celebration of her resilience and faith.
