Ruth Wanyana, is a stage actress who has also featured in movies like Ezra, Last King of Scotland, Roses in the Rain, Murder in the City, Honourable, Interdependence and Ekwezenge. She was once in a relationship with John Ssegawa, an actor and is also a promotions manager at Beat FM, a local radio station. Maureen Nakatudde had a chat with her.
Why did you and Ssegawa break up?
It is something very personal. I don’t want to talk about it.
Who decided to quit?
Does it matter? What matters is that we broke up.
Some people say that when your rival, Mariam Ndagire, sings, she seems to be hitting at you indirectly…
No comment. Why don’t you ask her? She should know better since she sings the songs.
Who are you dating now?
I have no man.
How do you spend your free time?
I always go out with my girlfriends. We can go out dancing, watching movies and plays.
Any future plans regarding relationships?
I will get into one when God wills it. At the moment, I’m just giving myself time.
Is your ex involved in taking care of the children?
Yes, he is involved. In fact they are very close. He is a good father. He picks the children from school. He also provides everything for them.
Doesn’t that make you wish you made up and resumed?
Of course, I would have liked it to be like that. Every woman desires that, but things just didn’t work out for us.
Don’t you think that his constant presence in your home may threaten potential suitors?
He is the one who pays the rent so I can’t bring in another man. If another man takes over, he has to pay the rent. All the same, I wouldn’t want my children to grow up with another man. Infact, if I got married to another man, I would take Ssegawa’s kids back to him. The problem is that my children are so close to him that it is hard for me to engage in another relationship.
So you are willing to sacrifice your needs for the children?
Yes, I am.
What advice would you give women who are being cheated on?
Men are like orchids. If he respects you and doesn’t show it, you should stay. But if he cheats on you and disrespects you then you should consider leaving.
