Size 8 recounts days when circumstance forced her to become a thief in Maringo Estate

There was a time when Size 8 resorted to theft just to survive. The gospel songbird opened up about her criminal past explaining how circumstance forced her to do things she’s not proud of.

The thought of Size 8 stealing is hard to grasp but actually the singer together with her sister engaged in petty theft just to survive in Eastlands where they were raised.

In a past interview with Citizen Digital, Size 8 narrated how her sister and her were brought up in poverty and how hunger drove them to commit crime.

“I was born and raised in Maringo Eastlands Estate. As a family we were so poor that we lacked enough food. So on this particular day my sister and I stole the neighbor’s chicken…hunger was too much. My elder sister devised a trap which worked very well. We strategically laid a tail of maize grains which led into our house. The neighbor’s chicken fed o the cereals until it got into the house. We immediately pounced on it, slaughtered, boiled and fed on the chicken. Hiyo siku hatukuwa hata na mafuta ya kukaranga. We later washed the utensils thoroughly, put the chicken’s feathers inside a polythene bag, wrapped it and threw it away. We had to get rid of the evidence,” Size 8 narrated.

The singer also reminisced about how Citizen TV’s Jacque Maribe used to help her with pads when they were still students at State House Girls High School.
