Speaking exclusively during an interview with a Tanzanian media house, the socialite cites that prison is not heaven and her health has not been the same ever since.

Kwanza mbu ni wengi, walining’ata sana.

Nilipimwa malaria, uti na vipimo vingine, lakini ugojwa haukubainika,

alichonishauri daktari wangu ni kuwa ipo haja ya kupima vipimo vingine ili kujua.

However, her doctor is yet to come up with a conclusive diagnosis on the same but the advice to her is to test for Dangue, a mosquito-borne viral disease since she is still sickly.

When asked whether she might have fallen sick even before he arrest, Wema clarifies:

Hapana, wakati naenda mahabusu nilikuwa nimeshapona muda mrefu, matatizo niliyapata huko.

Kwanza nikiwa mahabusu niliumwa sana na tumbo, kichwa na mwili kuishiwa nguvu, hadi siku natoka sikuwa sawa kiafya.

Wema Sepetu´s next court hearing is on Thursday, the 4th of July 2019.
