Tanzanian gospel singer Rose Muhando has opened up about one of the most difficult periods of her life, recalling how she and her mother were forced out of their family home shortly after her father’s death.
In an emotional interview, Muhando said relatives took control of the family home after her father was buried, leaving her mother and children without a place to stay.
The singer said the experience marked the beginning of a painful period that she had largely kept private.

Muhando recalled that the family had barely buried her father when relatives moved in and took over the home.
“When my father died, my mother and I were chased away from home.”
Muhando said the family was left with nowhere to go and at one point sought shelter near a riverside.
Raising Three Children on the Streets
The gospel singer also disclosed that she had three children while living on the streets.
Earlier reports identified her children as Gift Sheheba, Nicholas Winton and Maximilian.
Despite the hardships, Muhando eventually built a successful gospel music career and became one of Tanzania’s recognised gospel singers.
Muhando Speaks About Her Sister’s Death
The singer also turned to the painful story of her sister, who she said sided with relatives during the family dispute and spoke harshly to their mother.
Muhando said her sister later died a painful death. She connected the circumstances to what she described as the consequences of dishonouring a parent.
She framed the account through her Christian beliefs, warning listeners against mistreating the people who raised them.
“Do not let your father seal his mouth and curse you badly. Do not let your mother seal her mouth and curse you badly. God is not foolish.”
