Renowned actress Jacquey Nyaminde, better known as Wilbroda for her role in Papa Shirandula, made chilling revelations about what her HIV positive house-help did to her eight-months-old child in an exclusive interview with Parents Magazine.
She told the high-grossing lifestyle publication that she had travelled at the time to the coastal city of Mombasa and left the infant with the house-help only to receive a call that the nanny was breastfeeding the kid.
The caller did not stop at that, they said that the nanny was also HIV positive, twin revelations that sent her mind spinning.
Wilbroda admits that the call sent chills down her spine, forcing her to fly back in a fit of wild tension.
''When my son was around eight months old, I had to travel to Mombasa on a work assignment and so I left him under the care of a nanny whom I had trusted so much. While in Mombasa, I received an anonymous call from a person who informed me that my house help breastfeeds my son whenever he cries. I took the first flight back to Nairobi. I had to verify the information from my neighbours and in the process, I was informed my nanny not only breastfeeds my son but was also living with HIV. I didn’t sleep that night and had to rush to hospital at around midnight to have my son tested. Luckily, he was fine. To cut the long story short, I fired the nanny the following day. It took immense self-control to restrain myself from harming her,'' Wilbroda relates.
It was a relief to find out from medical experts that the months-old kid was all fine.
The Papa Shirandula actress did not think twice, she fired her house-help.
