They are half siblings Shamilla’ ‘no middle name’ Mutunga and Wallimohammed ‘‘Al-Amin’ Mutunga. Shamilla is Willy Mutunga’s second child, from his first marriage to Rukia. Al-Amin is his third born, who he had with a lady he was in a relationship with in the 90s. Shamilla’s eldest brother is a businessman in Kitui, and their youngest brother, Liam, currently lives with his mother in Canada, as he completes his studies. The two have this easy carefree manner about them, and they rib each other just as typical siblings would. Growing up with their earring-wearing controversial father was nothing if not interesting. We are at the poolside of Shamilla’s house where she lives with her mother and five year-old-daughter, Tazim, who they fondly refer to as “Tai”.
