However times are changing and for some reason Mejja is also sharing unknown details about his family and to our surprise – turns put he has other two younger brother who he helped back in the day when living in Majengo with his grandma, Khadija Rehema. Speaking on his background, Mejja said;<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Mejja with mum<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I lived with my mum, my grandmother helped take care of my two brothers before my mum became stable.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Supporting brother through healing process<\/h3>\n

Well, speaking of his siblibgs…Mejja for the first time disclosed unknown details about a brother of his – who has been battling alcohol addiction and from what he says….thanks to his small bro, he now knows better than to judge or laught at someone battling an addiction.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Speaking about his brother, Mejja said;<\/p>\n

Pressure came in and he started drinking so much I was husting and taking care of him to make sure he is ok. It was a lot<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Adding that;<\/p>\n

Amepunguza but through him, I have learnt not to judge people struggling with alcoholism. He is now able to control his drinking. He can hold a steady job but there are relapses.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And having learnt more about alcoholism through his brother’s experience Mejja says that;<\/p>\n

Alcoholism is a disease. If you say you will cut them off you are endangering them. Be patient.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And now he couldnt be any more proud of the small steps his brother has been making through his healing process. However….it is no walk in the park.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
