It's been nearly a decade since the infamous 'Ntakufinya' video clip went viral on social media, but the two men involved have finally found a silver lining. In an interview with Jalango TV, Asiiba Matendechere and Charles Musyoka, the duo behind the clip, were reunited for the first time since the incident.
On July 5, 2021, the two men appeared on Jalango TV, where they were offered ambassadorial jobs by a flour milling company, courtesy of their host, Felix Odiwour, alias Jalang'o. Jalang'o, who is the ambassador of the flour milling firm, revealed that the company had chosen them for the purposes of marketing their products.
Asiiba also requested those who have printed t-shirts over the incident to share with them the proceeds of their sales. 'Wale wame print T-shirts na pia Kampuni ambazo zinatumia picha yangu, atleast wakuwe wanatutumia kitu (Those who have printed t-shirts, plus companies that are using our images, should be considerate and give us a share of their earnings),' said Matendechere.
The two men, who appeared to have differed in the viral video clip, agreed to work together going forward and also revealed that they are now friends. In the viral video shot by K24 TV in 2011, Asiiba Matendechere is seen warning Charles Musyoka over electricity crisis in Nairobi's Mukuru Kwa Njenga slum.
