You are beautiful! What is it like to be constantly disturbed by men?
Oh you know men. They look at you and are like: “I wish I could have that.’ (Laughing). So at public places like shopping malls, you get someone asking you for your contact or proggie. But I’m always straight forward with them. I tell them I’m not interested.
Aren’t some of them persistent? Wouldn’t you get tempted to give one a chance?
No way. It is all about you the girl. It is you, your heart and knowing what you want in a particular person and not what the other person is, thinks or wants. And, in any case, I am not searching.
What annoys you about men?
Those who have no respect for women irritate me. Same for men who are violent and do not give women their freedom. I like gentlemen who keep their word, who love and are kind. Those who don’t cheat on their partners.
Tell me about your ideal wedding
I would like my ideal wedding to be on a cruise ship.
Where would you love to relax with your boyfriend?
I like travelling to distant places like Zanzibar Island and Mweya.
Your man must be loaded. So, is it money or strictly, love?
Both go hand-in-hand to avoid temptations. One cannot be there without the other.
Would you fight a rival?
(Laughing) No, that is too far below me. I wouldn’t fight with the girl. I would talk it over with my partner.
