The story according to Jetu’s daughter Ana
Until now Ana Banda, Jetu’s only surviving child had been unknown.
All what was known was that she has been away from home and her family for 14 years. Nothing more.
But in an interview today, Ana said she left the country in an attempt to fend for her mother and four children, one of them being Emu Dee, the brains behind Jetu’s brand.
“Emu Dee is my second born child. I have been responsible for his education from primary all the way to college,” said Ana.
Apart from ensuring her children attain education, Ana says she also built her mother a house in Mchinji, where she was based until last year when her husband died and the one they are currently staying in Bangwe.
She said: “After my father died I advised Emu Dee to get his grandmother under his custody just minimise her stress.”
On Friday Ana, her mother and son reunited after 14 years, and she said she is grateful to everyone who has made this possible.
“Looking at her age, her story is unbelievable. I think it will help demystifying some myths which always relate old people to witchcraft,” she said.
Ana is Jetu’s only surviving child out of the nine children she had.
