Quotes
Honestly, I don't even know where to begin. My childhood was not very good. I was raised by my father and my stepmother. My father loved me dearly, with all his heart. But my stepmother mistreated me terribly. I lived a very bitter life during my childhood days. This woman married my father, I think, before I was even two years old. Imagine being entrusted with a two-year-old child; wouldn't that child think you are their real mother? But my stepmother was so cruel. She used to beat me a lot, insult me constantly, and she never dressed me well like she did her own children. What she hated the most was the love my father had for me. It reached a point where I used to beg to go to boarding school."
And because of the mistreatment I was receiving from my stepmother, I found myself becoming a bully at school. First, I was expelled from nursery school when I was only 6 years old for beating up Indian children. Imagine being expelled from school at 6 years old! For primary school, I attended Arusha School, where to this day I still have enemies because I was such a bully. I used to beat up other people's children a lot. I just wouldn't listen; I was a very troublesome child.
That's not true, we weren't fighting. It's just that my father didn't leave a will. So you can imagine the chaos that followed. I agreed to let them be the administrator of the estate, believing they would give me what was mine. But when I saw time passing and I wasn't being given my share, that's when I went back to court.
Anyway, things are going well now, and I have already been handed over several properties. Before the end of the year, we will have finalized the official handover. Many thanks go to my lawyer, Mama Tenga, who fought hard for me to get my share and is still fighting on my behalf because I am far away.
