Gospel singer and minister Ruth Matete has made a notable return to social media, sparking discussions among her followers regarding her prolonged absence.

Matete, a former winner of the Tusker Project Fame competition, shared her first photo in a considerable amount of time on her social media platforms, accompanied by a message of gratitude.

"I knew You would do it, Lord, but I didn't know it would be like this. Thank you, Lord 🙌🏽," she expressed in her caption.

Her last social media activity dated back to October 2023, prompting comments from fans who had observed her extended hiatus.

Among the responses to her post, followers expressed joy at seeing her after a prolonged absence, while some questioned her whereabouts, noting her stunning appearance.

Speculation arose about Matete's location, with some suggesting she might have quietly relocated abroad, particularly to the United States, where she has shared glimpses of her life, including moments spent in the snow with her daughter Toluwa and outings.

Adding fuel to the speculation, Matete shared a video of herself singing for an audience in Ontario, Canada, where she was tagged alongside Pastor Joan Wairimu.

Furthermore, Matete is set to lead a worship session scheduled for 4th May, indicating her continued engagement in her ministry.

Matete's reappearance online aligns her with a growing trend of Kenyans seeking opportunities abroad, joining a host of compatriots in search of new horizons and greener pastures.
