‘He woke me up with a punch to my face, I’m now done with him!’ Popular actress ends her marriage
Jul 9, 2020
Popular Tanzanian actress Shilole, whose real name is Zena Yusuf Mohammed, has opened up about her violence-riddled marriage.
Taking to Instagram, the 32-year-old film star said she has decided to end her 3-year marriage to her husband Uchebe, whom she started dating in 2016.
Shilole has two teenage daughters from her previous relationships. She gave birth to her first born child, who is now 18 years old, at the age of 14, after an alleged defilement ordeal.
On Wednesday, July 8, she took to picture-and-video-sharing site, Instagram, to allege that she had been a victim of domestic abuse throughout her 3-year marriage to her partner, Uchebe. The actress’ husband is yet to respond to her claims:
Below the Instagram link is Shilole’s narration as translated by K24 Digital from Swahili to English:
“I am writing this with a clear mind and conscience. First, I would like to apologise to my family. I am seeking your forgiveness because I assured you that my marriage was trouble-free, while in reality, it wasn’t peaceful. I have been a victim of domestic violence and other evil acts I cannot speak about on this platform.
“I apologise because every time I heard my fellow women cry for justice after being assaulted by their spouses, I would urge them to voice out their grievances. When I heard that there was a woman from Kigamboni, who had been fatally battered and her body set alight by her husband, I was the first one to say: ‘she should have spoken out about her marital troubles’. I pretended that I was not one of the domestic abuse victims; I distanced myself from the group of women who were victims of domestic violence. Forgive me.
