Media personality Janet Mbugua and gospel singer Mercy Masika have finally met face-to-face weeks after their public disagreement over the latter’s upcoming Becoming a Wife masterclass.
The two personalities shared a joint Instagram post featuring them seated together on what appeared to be a television studio set, suggesting they had recorded a conversation addressing the controversy surrounding the programme.
In their caption, Mbugua and Masika disclosed that they had taken time to discuss their differing views on marriage and ministry.
The two added that the priority should be ensuring families reached through marriage initiatives feel safe and supported, rather than focusing on whether everyone agrees on every issue.
“Making sure every marriage it reaches is safe and supported is what matters now,” part of their message read.
They further observed that people could have different opinions while still sharing a common goal of supporting families.
However, they did not reveal where the conversation was recorded or when it would be made available to the public.
Their meeting comes weeks after Mbugua publicly questioned Masika’s decision to organise a marriage masterclass exclusively targeting women.
The media personality raised concerns about the timing and focus of the programme, arguing that religious institutions should also use their platforms to address pressing issues such as femicide, sexual abuse and gender-based violence.
