End of the road for Fatuma Muhoza in TPF 5

ONE of the remaining two Rwandan contestants in the ongoing Tusker Project Fame Season 5 (TPF5), Fatuma Muhoza, was on June 23, evicted from the Academy, leaving the country with only one representative.Muhoza performed Jennifer Hudson’s track “Where you At” but could not survive the eviction, despite ruthless Judge Ian saying that she had slightly improved.The 24-year-old follows Diana Teta, another of her compatriot who was evicted on the grand entrance show.Rwanda’s other contestant Jackson Kalimba is the remaining representative in the contest.Tanzania’s Damien Mihayo was also evicted after failing to impress the Judges. He performed Ali Kiba’s “Mapenzi yana run dunia”. The previous weekend saw South Sudan’s Mer Ayang and Tanzania’s Imani Lissu sent home. However, Muhoza’s exit has attracted thousands of comments on Facebook, as her fans expressed their dissatisfaction with the Judges’ decision to evict the lass from the Academy.Some of the Facebook comments include, among others: Marion Nambasa from Uganda, who commented: “TPF sucks. Faculty sucks. Instead of the contestants voting out their threats the judges should take over”.Lyndä Tämârä noted: “Fatuma got talent…you didn’t deserve to go that soon…” And Lawrence Kathunkumi from Kenya said: “Fatuma that’s not the end,alot await u ahead be focused 4 it dia.”It was second time unlucky for Muhoza after she had failed to make it in past auditions since 2009. But this time, she had hoped to use the exposure to further her music career as well as help the disadvantaged in society.Muhoza comes from a humble background and says finishing her secondary school, as well as educating her two younger siblings is what keeps her motivated when the going gets tough.The winner of the contest will walk away with a top prize of KSh5 million, and a recording deal worth KSh10 million with Universal Music Group, a multinational music company.
