Tanzanian actress, model and ex-girlfriend to Bongo star Diamond has come out to state that she has previously procured an abortion. In a recent interview with Mseto East Africa, Wema Sepetu revealed that she procured an abortion when she was younger. The baby belonged to the late Steven Kanumba, a Tanzanian actor and director. She blamed the abortion on her youth and fear of her parents.
“Naomba niwe mkweli sijawahi kutoa mimba zaidi ya marehemu Steven Kanumba, na nilitoa kwa kuwahofia wazazi wangu kwa kuwa nilikuwa bado mdogo hivyo nilikuwa na hofu nitajieleza vipi kwa wazazi wangu,” said Wema Sepetu in her interview.
A former Miss Tanzania 2006, Wema Sepetu went on to say she tried getting pregnant with ex-boyfriend Bongo star Diamond Platnamz but could not.
Wema Sepetu broke the news of her pregnancy situation a few weeks ago on her Instagram account saying, “Hata mimi natamani kuitwa mama na hakuna kinachoniuma kama hicho. Mwafikiria nisingependa kuacha hata copy kangu siku ndo Mungu anasema ananichukua. Ningependa kupiga picha niko na mwanangu. I want that with all my life, but I can’t!”
