Kikuyu Benga Maestro John Ng’ang’a popularly known as De’ Mathew was laid down to rest at his home in Murang’a County on Saturday with those who attended the funeral ceremony being moved beyond words, when one of his daughters said that she had a dream about his father’s accident three days before it actually happened.
De’ Mathew died in a road accident on Sunday August 18, 2019, three days after her daughter only identified as Lucy had a dream about the accident.
“Let me say in front of you all. Three days before he died, I had a terrific dream that my real dad had an accident and the accident was about him having a roundabout and the car got on fire. I never knew that it could be real. I prayed out the whole rosary at night. I could even say I am okay and yet inside I was not okay,” she told stunned mourners among them President Uhuru Kenyatta.
She continued, “Daddy wherever you are, know that I never knew that the dream could be true. People say that dreams no longer come true but I never knew that this one could be one.”
The fallen musician was one of the most celebrated entertainers in Gikuyu land for several years.
