Shemeji Has Now “Split Up” With Mazunguko

Shemeji Mrembo, a Kenyan beauty whom we reported about last time, is in crisis after gossipers blew her identity, opening the door for some Kenyans to begin phoning her to question why she had decided to engage Mazunguko in mapenzi and to put pressure on her to quit.

Speaking to KSB on the phone, she said that some friends have betrayed her because they are jealous that she had real possibilities of beginning her mapepe project with the guy. Although she says that some friends have been supportive, she has accused others of trying to undermine her efforts to fix her stay by constantly opposing her every move.

According to Shemeji, some friends who do not have her interest at heart have been encouraging her to get a single guy or buy mapepe instead of wasting time with married people whom, they say, will use and dump her.

Sounding very relaxed on the phone, she said that she was very surprised with the story at the blog which located her leaving a hotel room with Mazunguko. She said that she left Mazunguko talking to a lady in the hotel to wait for him at the lobby but that Mazunguko never told her that there was danger that what they had done in the room could come out in public after he talked to the lady.

Asked whether Mazunguko’s rib knows that she has been articulating with him, Shemeji said that as far as she was concerned, the two of them have been kissing because Mazunguko had serious problems with his wife and that she did not care whether the wife knew about the relationship or not.

She said that she could have been naïve to have done what she did but added that a person in her situation could sometimes resort to desperate means. She said that Mazunguko has been helping her a great deal and that when she understood that he was having difficulties with his wife, she became sympathetic and later fell in love with him.

When questioned about the kind of help Mazunguko has been giving her, she said that it has mainly been financial while she admitted that the guy has also been giving her hopes in her quest for Mapepe by promising to “do everything in his means” to help.

She called KSB to make it known that she had decided to break up with Mazunguko because the secret was already public and that she doesn’t want to be seen to be bent on destroying a Kenyan family in Stockholm. She also said that she doesn’t want to become the subject of discussion at KSB because her situation was still very delicate.

Asked why she is not trying to trap one of the bachaleros in Stockholm, she said that she had tried but that many of the guys were afraid of getting into serious relationships that could end in marriage because they were mentally immature.

She admitted that although she is not old enough, she is ready to get into a relationship that could end in marriage as long as it was based on love and dismissed KSB story that her affair with Mazunguko may have been based on Mapepe business only.

When questioned further, she said that going public with the truth about her relationship with Mazunguko was part of her “healing process” and appealed to Kenyans to try and help one another especially those in her situation instead of seeking information to try and destroy one another.

She said that she has no grudge with KSB that carried the story because the blog site is simply entertaining its readers. She thanked KSB for not having blown her identity because then, she could have been in deeper crisis with relatives in Kenya who believe that she is studying Economics at Stockholm University while she is struggling with life in the underground.

She said that she has never attempted prostitution as had been suggested in the story and stressed that she will never sell her body regardless of the circumstances. She hoped that Kenyans who already know her will accept her as a person trying her best to sort out her problems after she arrived in Sweden with a lot of hopes and expectation but met with difficulties and disappointment. She refused to go into details about her tribulations in Sweden.
