Muchina Malomba marks 12 years since his mum’s passing with emotional message
By Steve Ireri, March 14, 2026Media personality and travel vlogger Muchina Malomba has opened up about the pain of losing his mother, Georgina Caroline Malomba, in an emotional message, 12 years after her death.
In the heartfelt reflection posted on his Instagram page on Saturday, March 14, 2026, Muchina recalled the moment he received the devastating news while he was still a teenager.
He explained that the memory remains vivid, remembering that it was around 3 pm when his aunt called him while crying.
“12 years ago, around 3 pm, my aunt called me crying. Immediately, I knew what she wanted to say. I hung up before she could say those words every child dreads to hear about their parent,” he wrote.
Muchina shared that the day had already been emotionally challenging for him, noting that he had been irritable earlier.
However, he said he had to quickly compose himself because he was scheduled to take part in a school play during a drama festival later that day.
“I remember I was irritable that day, but I had to get my mood in check because I was part of the school play at the drama festival. Funny enough, the parts where I was supposed to cry… I was bawling my eyes out. They probably thought, “Damn, he is such a good actor. “No… I had just lost my mum. That loss crushed me,” Muchina shared.
According to Muchina, the loss affected him deeply because his mother was more than just a parent.
He described her as his best friend, his biggest supporter and the person who believed in him the most. He also shared that she had been his confidant, someone who knew many of his personal secrets.
“I lost my best friend. I lost my number one believer. I lost my confidant. (My mother also went with some of my wild secrets),” he added.
Muchina further reflected that his mother had played a significant role in shaping his ambitions and work ethic.
He said she was one of the biggest reasons he pushed himself so hard during his college years, explaining that his motivation to succeed was closely tied to making her proud and being in a position to support her.
“She was truly one of the biggest reasons I worked so hard in college. My drive to succeed was deeply tied to her. All I wanted was to become someone she could be proud of and to be in a position where I could help and support her,” he wrote.
Challenges
He also spoke about the challenges he faced at a young age after her death.
Muchina explained that losing his mother at the age of 19 forced him to quickly learn difficult life lessons and navigate adulthood sooner than expected.
“At 19 years old, I had to quickly learn the ties and knots of life. And when my friends say, “Muchina, you are such a joy and such a light,” to be honest, it all comes from one person – Georgina Malomba. She exuded nothing but light,” he added.
Muchina also remembered the close bond they shared, recalling how his mother could scold him one moment and lovingly ask him to sit on her lap the next. He noted that their relationship remained affectionate even as he grew older, adding that he continued sitting on her lap well into his teenage years.
“One minute she would scold me, the next minute she would ask me to come sit on her lap… and by the way, I sat on her lap all the way until I was 19. My mother’s life – and even her death taught me about social currency, love, forgiveness, family, and most importantly… faith. Uuuuuh, my mum had a kind of faith that was almost scary,” he wrote.
Reflecting on her character, Muchina said his mother’s life and even her passing taught him important lessons about love, forgiveness, family and faith.
“The kind that goes beyond belief and becomes knowing. Whenever I doubted what was to come, she would always say: “O ye of little faith.” Today, I am able to make certain decisions in life because I was raised believing that everything works out for my good,” he wrote.
