For the first time since Tusker Project Fame 5 kicked off, Kenya’s Ruth Matete is probation.

Doing their own original compositions, the contestants showed their prowess at the stage not only in what they do best, which is sing, but also how well they can write their own songs.

Music Director, R.Kay said it was important for one to write their own songs, because it is easier for them to perform songs which they have written.

Performing a song on heart breaks, Ruth once again wowed the audience and the judges. “You have one of the best and strongest voices in the academy,” Judge Ian commented.

However, she did not wow the judges as much as she landed herself on probation alongside Sharon, Steve and Joe.

This is the first time Ruth is on probation.
