On August 6, 2020, gospel superstar Solomon Mkubwa celebrated a special day with his loving wife, Betty. The Congolese singer, who has been blessed with two children, a boy, and a girl, showered his wife with love on her birthday.
"Mungu kanifanyia msaidizi huyo sikukama ya leo na tarehe ya leo nakupenda mom happy birthday to you," he posted.
As Solomon Mkubwa's fans know, the singer's life has been a testament to his faith and resilience. Born with a disability, he lost his left arm at the age of 12 after a tragic incident involving a family member's alleged witchcraft.
"I lost the arm after my dad's side chic (mistress) bewitched me. I was 12 years old then. The arm started swelling out of the blues and with time it began to rot as well and had to be amputated," Mkubwa said in previous interviews.
Despite the challenges he faced, Solomon Mkubwa has risen to become a renowned gospel singer, known for his hit song "Mfalme wa Amani." His inspiring story serves as a reminder of the power of faith and determination in overcoming adversity.
