Tanzanian fashion icon and entrepreneur Hamisa Mobetto was overcome with emotion as her fiancé, Burkinabé footballer Stephane Aziz Ki, paid a grand dowry of 30 cows in a traditional ceremony held on Saturday, February 15, 2025. The lavish event, which took place at Gofu Grounds in Mikocheni, Dar es Salaam, was attended by family, friends, and prominent figures from the football and entertainment industries.
Aziz Ki, a key player for Tanzanian football giants Yanga SC, demonstrated his deep commitment to Hamisa by following traditional customs in delivering the dowry. The cows, a significant symbol of wealth and respect in African traditions, were transported to the ceremony in two large trucks. Representing Aziz Ki’s family, Yanga SC President Hersi Said officially presented the dowry to Hamisa’s family, marking a crucial step towards their upcoming nuptials.
The ceremony was a star-studded affair, with notable Yanga SC players such as Pacome Zouzoua, Bakari Mwamnyeto, and Yao Kouassi in attendance. The club’s Public Relations Officer, Ali Kamwe, was also present to support the couple. On Hamisa’s side, her manager, Paul Mangoma, played a key role in coordinating the event, while she arrived in grandeur, escorted by 15 bridesmaids elegantly dressed for the occasion.
During the heartfelt event, Hamisa expressed her deep gratitude, acknowledging how blessed she felt to have found a partner who truly loves and respects her. Speaking to Mwanaspoti, she shared her emotions about this milestone in her life:
“This is where I’ve reached, having found someone with genuine love for me. Our souls are in harmony. I pray to God to guide us as we move forward with our plans.”
Aziz Ki also spoke about his journey to finding love, declaring that his long search for a life partner had finally ended with Hamisa.
“All the engagement procedures have been completed. What remains now is the wedding, which will take place tomorrow, Sunday, February 16, 2025. The official ceremony is scheduled for February 19, 2025, at The SuperDome in Masaki, Dar es Salaam.”
Hamisa, a mother of two, could not hold back tears as she shared emotional moments with her children, Dylan Abdul Naseeb and Fantasy Majizzo, who embraced both her and Aziz in a touching scene. The emotional high continued when Aziz Ki slipped an engagement ring onto her finger, solidifying their commitment as they prepare to embark on their new journey as husband and wife.
