Radio citizen presenter Shatta Bway paid a heartfelt tribute to his late wife, Becky, during her burial on Saturday, July 1, 2023.
Shatta Bway fulfilled a promise he had made to his wife, vowing to shave his signature dreadlocks one by one to commemorate a significant event in his life that he would never forget.
"You may have heard people shaving their hair and donating it for 3 million shillings to charity… I have 31 locks on my head. I told her that one day, if I encounter a significant event, something worth commemorating, I will cut my locks one by one to ensure I will never forget that event."
In fulfilling his promise, he invited his co-presenter, Q-tee, and his daughter to participate in the act.
As one of his dreadlocks was severed, Shatta Bway carried it to his wife’s coffin, symbolizing the fulfillment of his promise and the enduring connection between their shared memories and his locks.
While addressing the mourners, the media personality praised his departed wife, adding that she was a loving and protective woman.
He wished her well in the afterworld, adding that she should always rest knowing that he loved her with all his heart.
"As you make your way, go with that crown and I love you. I will love these children as you wanted me to. I will protect them and be the best dad ever."
Becky had been admitted to Kenyatta National Hospital for an extended period before passing away on the 25th of June.
May her soul rest in peace.
