Anthony Ndiema Recalls The Experience That Almost Left Him Paralysed

Anthony Ndiema host of KTN’s powerful gospel show Tukuza, believes everybody has a testimony and that is what he brings out in his show every Sunday.

In his own words, he relates his experience in the hands of a mob that left him almost paralysed.

“I believe every Christian has a testimony and Tukuza gives people an opportunity to share their experiences. Personal life experiences are great in empowering people and touching souls.

Personally, I have suffered a near death experience. I had just got a job in Nairobi, and I lived in Kawangware. On the fateful day in 2008, I had gone to withdraw some money from an ATM along Kenyatta Avenue.

I then took a route 46 matatu to Kawangware. On alighting, a man shouted “mwizi!” while pointing at me. Without a warning, a crowd descended on me with blows and kicks. I was confused and in excruciating pain. They left me for the dead. It was about 6.45pm.

Luckily, about ten minutes later, a man and a woman heard my groans and came to my rescue. The thugs had left my wallet behind. In a VCT card, I had written a friends number. They called him and summoned a cab.

I had been stabbed twice on the back. The knife touched my nerves and the doctor told me I would never walk again. But one day, in my troubled sleep, I experienced a vision where God assured me that I would walk again. Few days later, I started to move my toes. I enrolled for physiotherapy, which I take to date.

Slowly I learnt to walk again. Today, I have a slight limp, though sometimes after a long day, it gets painful. I pray for my attackers every day, hoping they changed their wayward ways.”
