On a fateful day in 1977, Milka Katwota married John Kimuyu at the Free Baptist Church in Makueni, a union that would defy blindness and racial boundaries. Little did she know that her husband had grabbed global headlines for his remarkable story.
According to Kimuyu, he had kept his earlier marriage to Ruth Holloway a secret from his new wife. However, years later, he revealed the details of his two failed marriages, leaving Milka to ponder her reaction.
When asked by the Sunday Nation how she felt upon learning about her husband's past, Milka, now 63, responded with a mix of restraint and laughter.
