EDITORIAL OPINION
By Andrew Mbuva - Editor Soo TV.
Celebrated Kamba Gospel Artist Wilberforce Musyoka is once again trending on YouTube with his latest release, "Katepmesha"—a powerful, biblically inspired song that has amassed over 362,000 views in just four days and continues to receive thousands of congratulatory messages from fans across the globe.
Drawing from the story of Haman in Esther 7:1–10, the song delivers a cautionary message rooted in spiritual wisdom: “Before you dig a hole for someone else, take a measure of yourself.” Musyoka warns that, just like Haman—who was hanged on the very gallows he had prepared for Mordecai—those who plot evil against others risk having their own schemes backfire.
What makes this song especially striking is not just the message, but the timing and dramatization. The video opens with a courtroom scene, portraying a man bent on punishing his neighbor, only to suffer a humiliating defeat himself. The symbolism is clear and thought-provoking.
One cannot help but ask: Is this video message directed at anyone in particular?
In my view, the answer is yes. The directors and producers seem to have had someone—or a situation—in mind.
Recently, two well-known Kamba Gospel Artists, Stella Mengele and Stephen Kasolo, have been embroiled in a heated court case. Stella accuses Kasolo of defamation, and despite efforts by their fans and close associates to mediate and foster reconciliation, Stella has stood her ground, insisting she will ensure Kasolo learns “a lesson of a lifetime.”
Whether Kasolo wronged Stella or not, Wilberforce’s song seems to mirror their situation perfectly. The determination by Stella to see Kasolo punished resembles Haman’s resolve to destroy Mordecai, and by setting the song in a courtroom, Musyoka cleverly—and spiritually—urges both parties to reconsider their path.
This is not the first time Wilberforce has used his music to caution his fellow Gospel artists. In 2024, when social media was abuzz with a scandal involving another Kamba Gospel artist Roselyne Katungwa and a supposed pastor named Ken, Wilberforce responded not with judgment, but with grace—through his release of "NTHUNGU".
Inspired by John 8:1–11, the story of the woman caught in adultery, the song encouraged reflection before judgment. In a time when many were quick to throw stones, Wilberforce reminded us of Jesus’s words: “Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.”
At a time when the Gospel music industry is increasingly marred by social media spats, scandals, and online trolling, Wilberforce Musyoka stands out—a man of God using music to heal, warn, and uplift. With a deep understanding of Scripture and unmatched composition skills, he has become a spiritual compass in the midst of chaos.
As the Editorial Head at Soo TV, I salute Wilberforce for his resilience, wisdom, and unwavering commitment to the true Gospel. He is not just a talented composer—he is a spiritual guide, a defender of righteousness, and a true servant of God.
May God continue to fight his battles and expand his ministry, for many, especially the youth, are looking up to him as a spiritual father and moral voice in a time when the Gospel needs it most.
