Abdul Karim Hassan aka Ting Dis is a brother to East African socialite Zari Hassan. He stays in South Africa. He talked to Glorias Musiime about his social life.

Glad to meet you city socialite

No.  I am not a socialite. I am a hustler.

What do you mean?

I have no permanent job. I am more into deals? You know deals we do here in South Africa.

How did you get to South Africa?

I was helped by my sister Zari.

How long have you been there?


Three years.



You met Diamond Platinumz recently, right?

We met in South Africa, when he arrived, Zari called me to meet him. He had come for MTV Africa Music Awards (MAMA).

When is Zari's introduction ceremony? Did you talk about it?

Yes we did, but Diamond Platinumz or Zari should be the ones to talk to public about it. Not me.

You’re Semwanga’ best friend yet you met with his rival Diamond, how will you juggle the two? On whose side are you?

Semwanga is my friend turned into a brother and Zari is my sister, so I take no side.

How is your relationship like?

It’s fine

Did you really drop Mutaasa Kafeero’s daughter for another lady?


We are still friends.

Can you date a girl above your age?

I am just 22 years old, I think I can date her but not for marriage.

So when do you intend to marry?

At 40, I do not want marriages that start with a girl saying she is pregnant. I’m black by skin but white by behavior. Let me have fun first then settle down.

Do you tell the girls that you are only having fun, because some may expect marriage?

One would be stupid to think a guy in his early20s wants to settle down.

When was your last serious relationship?

The only real relationship I was involved in was way back in high school. Since then, I have never been in a long lasting relationship. My relationships last for a month at most.

Who is your dream wife?

White or mixed race. Beautiful, educated, holding a profession job. Not one working in a boutique or salon.
