The dynamic duo of [Fridah Mwaka and Lofty Matambo, affectionately known as “Mtu na Pacha Wake](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EDgLHi48P2U "Fridah Mwaka and Lofty Matambo, affectionately known as \"Mtu na Pacha Wake"),” lit up the screens on Obinna Show Live with their signature blend of pomp, glamour, and infectious laughter. Fridah, born in Machakos but raised along the Coast in a devout Christian family as an only child, shared heartfelt reflections on her upbringing. Lofty, a proud son of Kilifi County, complemented her story with his own roots in the coastal region. Though they have collaborated closely for five years, their individual media journeys are impressive. In 2026, Fridah celebrates a decade in the industry, while Lofty marks an impressive 17 years. Both express deep pride in their paths. Lofty revealed his unconventional start: trained in medicine, he transitioned to media through a divine encounter with veteran broadcaster Anthony Ndiema, who saw his potential and believed in him. Fridah’s passion for journalism sparked early, leading her to study at Daystar University. Her breakthrough came via a godly connection – singer Kambua noted her voice resembled Kanze Dena’s and helped her join Kubamba Radio. Persistent and faith-driven, she moved to TV at KTN before being recruited by NTV. The pair emphasized mentorship’s value in media, stressing hard work, discipline, and a constant zeal to learn as keys to thriving. Addressing common controversies—like assumptions that media personalities are never single or date politicians – they advocated for personal principles and self-respect. Fridah candidly shared experiences of being offered cars, houses, and property as temptations in the industry. Their catchy on-air intros? A collaborative brainstorming effort that keeps things fresh. They described hosting the first-ever global tourism conference expo as an experience of pure God’s favor. Beyond the studio, Fridah serves as a foster mum – a divine calling after a family friend’s passing – and is the CEO of House of Kichuna, her fashion brand. She proudly revealed that everything the duo wears on air is a House of Kichuna creation, blending style with their professional flair. Fridah and Lofty’s story inspires: faith, perseverance, and authenticity pave the way in media and life. Play WE ARE LIKE TWINS – Fridah & Lofty
