TikToker Manzi wa Mombasa is celebrating a fresh chapter in her life after opening a new business with financial support from Nairobi-based preacher Pastor Victor Kanyari.
From Struggles to a Fresh Start
Manzi wa Mombasa has faced a fair share of challenges in recent years, including backlash after admitting to faking a cancer diagnosis. She also previously testified in Kanyari’s church about being homeless with her son, Chira, after being locked out of her home. Moved by her story, Kanyari gave her KSh 50,000 at the time to help her regain stability.
Now, the preacher has once again extended his generosity, gifting her KSh 300,000 to start a business and rebuild her life.
Her Choice of Business
With the funds, Manzi wa Mombasa launched a wines and spirits shop along Kenyatta Road. In a video posted online, she expressed her gratitude, saying:
“Thank you so much, Pastor Kanyari. This is me; I opened a business after you gave me KSh 300,000. I opened a wines and spirits business because I knew other jobs would not fit me.”
She invited fans and supporters to celebrate with her, adding:
“Guys, welcome to my wines and spirits with my baby Chira. We are celebrating and saying thank you. Tunashukuru sana for our new business. Come one, come all, karibuni.”
Netizens React
The news quickly attracted a wide range of reactions online. While some praised Pastor Kanyari for supporting her, others questioned her choice of business, given the source of the funds.
Sample reactions included:
- “Ila Kenya hela ya pastor ndo unafungua duka ya pombe.”
- “Hii sio kazi ya KSh 300,000.”
- “Ulipewa pesa ya kanisa ukafungua wines and spirit aki Kenya.”
- “Sina wivu lakini ungefungua a different bizz, hii utalia machozi.”
- “Good job to Prophet Kanyari, more blessings to daddy.”
Despite the mixed feedback, many netizens congratulated her for taking a step toward financial independence.
Family Matters
Apart from her new business milestone, Manzi wa Mombasa also shared snippets of her family life. She revealed she had spent KSh 600,000 on her youngest son and clarified rumors about her relationship with the late TikToker Brian Chira. She insisted they were only friends and emphasized that she would allow her children to choose their own life paths freely.
Conclusion
With Pastor Kanyari’s support, Manzi wa Mombasa has taken a bold step into entrepreneurship. While her choice of a wines and spirits business has sparked debate, the milestone marks a significant turn in her journey toward self-reliance and stability.
