MR. CHARISMATIC

He is known in online circles as gathukimundu, but then he says that that is not his real name. He owns the website www.gathukimundu.com, which carries witty and humorous articles. Last week, his website carried an article about a letter addressed to two well known socialites in Kenya (Hudda Monroe and Shiro Waruinge) which caused quite a storm on the online streets.

IN SUMMARY, WHO IS GATHUKIMUNDU?
First of all my real name is not Gathukimundu, and I’m not the Radio Jambo guy. I'm just your ordinary guy, with an ordinary life, trying to make ends meet.Men want to be like me; Women want to sleep with me(Just kidding)..I’m that shy quiet guy that skipped growing up,so he had to start a blog.

IF YOU WERE ASKED TO DESCRIBE YOURSELF IN 1 WORD, WHAT WOULD IT BE?
Charismatic

OTHER THAN BLOGGING, WHAT ELSE DO YOU DO?
I own two companies: One a tracking, fleet management and car accessories company; the second is a new art and fashion company still in the making

TELL ME SOMETHING ABOUT YOUR BLOG, GATHUKIMUNDU.COM, HOW DID YOU START AND WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Gathukimundu.com is a journey,about life,about my life,personal progress,thoughts,God,growth,me. I always wanted to write since I was young,so one day in college I started gathukimundu.blogspot.com which(last year) matured into gathukimundu.com

YOUR ARTICLES ARE QUITE ENTERTAINING AND WITTY, WHAT INSPIRES YOU?
 Thank you for the kind words. Life inspires me, Oyunga Pala inspires me, Biko Zulu inspires me.I want to do articles that will stand the test of time, I don’t want to open my blog ten years to come and hit my head on the concrete. Every share, every like,every comment I get from my articles...that inspires me.

YOU BREWED UP QUITE A STORM WHEN YOUR WEBSITE HOSTED AN ARTICLE THAT WAS A LETTER ADDRESSED TO SOCIALITES SHIRO WARUINGE AND HUDDAH MONROE. TELL ME ABOUT THE LETTER.
Ever since the internet became this cheap,approaching women became easier for guys like us..so
one day I ‘stumbled’ upon ‘anonymous’ in some social site,hit it off,and asked her to do a post.She’s
already done two guest posts,Letter to Team Mafisi, and the scathing attack to Shee and Huddah. So
when she Emailed me the letter the title was enough...I posted it and the rest is history...

YOU KEEP A LOW PROFILE ON SOCIAL MEDIA, AND YET YOU HAVE A CONTROVERSIAL BLOG. WHY?
 I love my privacy. Who I am in real life is totally different from who I am on social media.

WHAT IS YOUR GREATEST FEAR IN LIFE? 
Not succeeding.

WHERE DO YOU SEE YOURSELF IN 5 YEARS?
Having built that Children’s home and church  I’ve always wanted to build, married with three boys...and bloody rich.

PARTING SHOT?
Wait,how many shots do you want??3?No?Try Jesus. If you don't like Him, the devil will always take you back.
