Sarah Mtalii has opened up about her struggle in leaving her marriage with Simon Kabu, revealing that she feared disappointing those who viewed her as a role model. Her decision to walk away was influenced by her realization that she should prioritize her well-being rather than trying to uphold an image for others.
In a recent interview, Sarah shared that she had built a reputation as a role model for young couples, which made it difficult for her to acknowledge the failure of her marriage. She had believed that marriage would naturally mirror the kind of stable family environment she was familiar with, but reality proved otherwise. Despite knowing things were not working out, she felt compelled to stay in the marriage for the sake of those who looked up to her.
Eventually, she made the bold choice to leave, emphasizing that no one should have to suffer or put their life at risk to meet societal expectations. She stated that everyone should seek guidance from their own families rather than placing undue pressure on public figures. Sarah firmly asserted that she no longer wanted to be seen as a role model, encouraging people to look elsewhere for inspiration.
The businesswoman recently made headlines after a video emerged of her allegedly assaulting a woman, which led to widespread speculation. She quickly addressed the claims, denying that the woman in the video was her househelp. In response to the controversy, she publicly introduced her domestic workers and challenged Simon Kabu to reveal the identity of the woman seen in the footage.
Sarah also confirmed that she had moved out of her marital home, marking the end of her relationship with Simon. Their joint business venture in the tours and travel industry remains a subject of public interest, but her focus appears to have shifted toward personal growth and independence.
Amid the public scrutiny surrounding her personal life, Sarah has been seen in the company of lawyer Peter Mwenda Njagi. Speculation about a possible romantic relationship between them has been fueled by their recent appearances together. They were spotted holding hands before Sarah left for a vacation in Malaysia, and later, they were seen in Abu Dhabi, where she expressed appreciation for his unwavering support. She referred to him as her pillar of strength, further igniting discussions about their relationship status. However, neither Sarah nor Peter has confirmed or denied these speculations.
Through her journey, Sarah has demonstrated the importance of prioritizing personal well-being over societal expectations. Her decision to step away from a situation that no longer served her highlights the significance of self-preservation and authenticity in the face of public pressure.
