Revealed! The Drama That Characterized Jastorina’s Burial. This is Beyond Imagination
“A prophet is never recognized and as such not valued at home.” This adage is so true given the burial of the late jastorina literally brought the village to a standstill, since the turn out and the celebration of life of the fallen lad or babe has been one of a kind, one never quite witnessed before in that village of a mere ‘commoner’ who holds no title like mweshimiwa.
Fast forward to July 2014, it was on 30th of June2014, Nancy Nyambura AKA Jastorina, AKA Kanyanya, was taken terribly ill, and her excruciating headache made her go seek medical attention at Kenyatta National Hospital and after a long battle she succumbed to meningitis and left the world on the fateful 28th of July.
Her grave side was down a slippery slope, Nancy’s mother was to be buried first and once done, Nancy’s casket was to be taken downhill for the final ceremony. “Nancy Ehh! Jastorina Ahh rara” Chants went on just encourage brothers to hang on and manage to bring the body to the final spot, for once the casket was up not lay it down until it reached the graveside. But 50metres from the grave yard, hell broke loose. The Caro… yes! That one of Thika Road – Muranga in 20 minutes… Yes! That one of refund my 6000 shillings that I gave for clearing Nancy’s hospital balance… Yes! That one who had come to the house and picked Steve(Jastorina’s son) and taken him to the paternal home to claim dowry yet Steve’s father had been dead for over 8 years! Yes! That one who took 3 days to come to Jastorina’s house only because royalty was visiting and came armed with her ksh800, 000 budget! Well, she allegedly was ‘overwhelmed and went on a comatose’ and as expected recovered fast. She would have made a better actor than her sister. Suddenly she acquired a surprising new level of energy and grabbed the microphone to claim that artists were there to bury Jastorina, while they as a family were there to bury Nancy.
Artistes were persona non Grata and were suddenly not wanted at the burial ceremony. As if the drama was just beginning, machetes that had been concealed in the grave were brandished. Some of the youths grabbed knives a fact that made artistes flee for their dear lives. One of the artists was quickly swept off his feet and soon kicks and blows rained on him. It took one of the police officers present to shoot in the air to save him when the attackers scattered at the sound of a gun firing. Dennis Musyoka, who plays the character of a Judge in the drama series Mashtaka remained with the children and made sure he left the village with them that night.
