Simon Kabu Marks 51st Birthday With Daughter’s Lavish Surprise

Bonfire Adventures co-founder Simon Kabu rang in his 51st birthday with a heartwarming—and extravagant—gift from his daughter, Maurine Kabu.

In a surprise that quickly went viral, Maurine presented her father with a fully paid trip to Thailand and KSh1 million in cash.

Kabu shared the moment on Instagram, posting a photo of the cash neatly arranged in Kenyan shillings, U.S. dollars, and euros. He credited the gesture to the values of mentorship and raising a financially responsible child.

A Thoughtful Gift

Reflecting on the surprise, Kabu recalled a 2024 incident when he gave Maurine a credit card loaded with over KSh2 million for a Cape Town trip—only for her to spend just KSh32,000.

“The issue for me is not the amount but the thought! God is great!” he wrote.

Fans React

The story sparked lively reactions online:

  • @gh0stface_madi joked, “Surprising him na pesa yake ni crazy 😂😂.”

  • @i.am_dave quipped, “Wale wa dead beat dads wanasema ni AI 😂😂.”

  • @moh_keiraa marveled, “Eeeh eeeeh kumekucha 😮 nilikuja duniani kushangaa 😂.”

  • @tata.wanairofi added, “Alafu kuna sisi wa Wueh 😂😂.”

57,000+ Contacts and a Birthday Wish

In a follow-up post, Kabu revealed another quirky detail about his life—he has 57,834 phone contacts saved.

He playfully suggested that if each of them sent him KSh51 to mark his 51st birthday, it would be the ultimate gift.

“If you are to give Simon Kabu a birthday wish or gift, what would you give me?” he asked his followers.

For the entrepreneur who built one of Kenya’s leading travel companies, this milestone birthday was less about wealth and more about family, mentorship, and the joy of being celebrated.

“A Father’s Love is Priceless”: Simon Kabu’s Daughter Gifts Him Ksh1M Bouquet

In a grand gesture of love, Simon Kabu’s daughter, Maurine Kabu, celebrated her father’s 51st birthday by surprising him with a Ksh1 million bouquet. The moment, captured at a small gathering at the airport, quickly made headlines and highlighted the strong bond between the father and daughter.

Taking to Instagram on Thursday, September 18, 2025, Maurine explained that no gift could truly match her father’s love, sacrifice, and guidance. The luxurious bouquet was a symbolic way to express her deep gratitude.

A Priceless Bond

“A father’s love is priceless, but today I wanted to show mine just how much he means to me,” she wrote. “This is how I surprised my dad with a one-million bouquet on his 51st birthday because no gift could ever match the man who has given me everything. Happy Birthday, Dad, here’s to more love, wisdom, and blessings ahead.”

Maurine has often spoken about the close relationship she shares with her father, crediting him as a source of inspiration, discipline, and a major influence on her drive in business. The expensive gift was not just about its price but about celebrating a relationship built on mutual admiration and respect.

In the video of the surprise, a visibly emotional Simon Kabu is seen hugging his daughter and expressing his thanks.

“Thank you, my daughter. I love you so much. They’ve surprised me twice,” he said, adding that he was so touched he couldn’t cry.

How Sarah Mtalii had to crush her parents’ hope she had reconciled with Simon Kabu

Bonfire Ventures managing director Sarah Mtalii has once again addressed speculation surrounding her relationship with ex-husband and business partner Simon Kabu, firmly denying claims that the two have reunited.

The former couple, who separated in May 2024 but went public with the news in December, had shocked many when they announced the end of their marriage. Despite moving on with their lives, rumours of a reconciliation resurfaced after they were recently spotted together on a business trip for their travel company.

Speaking during an interview with Milele FM’s Ankali Ray, Sarah dismissed the chatter as misleading and harmful:

“Tuliachana. I told you we separated and everyone has moved on. He has moved on, I have moved on, and we are just waiting for the court to issue the certificate. People need to stop taking us back there. These bloggers are just playing with Kenyans, and that is not good.”

She revealed that the reports had even unsettled her own family.

“They are playing mind games with people, and it is not good because people like my parents got high blood pressure when they heard the news. Walipigwa na butwaa. If reconciliation ever happens—which I doubt—we will be the ones to announce it.”

When asked if she had found love again, Sarah offered a simple response: “I am okay and I am very happy.” She also reassured clients that Bonfire Ventures remains strong, with a management team running day-to-day operations while she and Simon continue to serve as advisors.


Looking Back at Her Marriage

In March 2025, Sarah gave a candid interview on TV47, where she opened up about the struggles in her marriage and why she delayed leaving.

“I jumped into marriage with both legs. When things didn’t work, I felt I had to play along because I was already seen as a role model to young couples,” she said.

Ultimately, she realised the cost of maintaining appearances was too high:

“I would have died trying to inspire people and be a role model. So I said, let everyone find their own mentor. I am not going to live a double life just to appear perfect.”


Her Changing Views on Infidelity

Sarah also sparked conversation in November 2024 when she suggested on Eve Mungai’s Hey Girl podcast that most men who cheat still love their wives, pointing out that many public figures register assets under their wives’ names rather than their mistresses’.

She attributed infidelity to curiosity, saying, “They are just exploring. For some, it’s a fetish.”

However, just a month later, she issued a heartfelt apology, walking back her comments and urging women not to remain in unfaithful marriages:

“Wamama, tafadhali nawaomba mnisamehe. If things aren’t working, it’s better to leave while you still can.”


A New Chapter Focused on Peace

Today, Sarah says she prioritises mental health and personal well-being above societal expectations. Her message is clear: no one should sacrifice their peace of mind for appearances.

Simon Kabu’s Response To Ex Wife’s Claim She Bought Her Own Range Rover

The highly public and contentious divorce proceedings between Bonfire Adventures founders Simon Kabu and his estranged wife, Sarah  Mtalii have taken another dramatic turn. Simon Kabu has responded to his ex-wife’s recent claims that she, not he, was the one who bought the luxurious Range Rover that was widely celebrated as a romantic gift from him several years ago.

In a recent tell-all interview, Sarah Kabu dropped several bombshells about their marriage, including the revelation that the Range Rover, which became a symbol of their “power couple” status, was a lie. She alleged that she had paid for the car herself over a five-year period but had agreed to present it as a surprise gift from Simon for the sake of social media and public relations.

The Range Rover, which was a Range Rover Sport, was presented to Sarah Kabu on her 39th birthday. At the time, the surprise was heavily documented on social media and celebrated by fans and the media, with Simon Kabu explaining in interviews that he had purchased the car to make her birthday memorable. Sarah, in a past interview, had also expressed her delight, stating that she had always wanted a Range Rover Sport and that the gift was a pleasant surprise.

Kabu’s Response Raises Questions

In response to the new allegations, Simon Kabu has yet to issue a direct, detailed public statement specifically addressing the car. However, he has made a series of statements on his social media and through his lawyer in court that broadly dismiss his estranged wife’s claims. In one post, he urged her to “heal and just move on,” hinting that her allegations were baseless and driven by jealousy.

The public back-and-forth between the two has become a staple of Kenyan celebrity gossip, with social media users and commentators closely following the drama. The initial Range Rover gift was a major part of the couple’s brand, portraying them as a successful and loving couple who valued grand romantic gestures. Sarah Kabu’s new claims, therefore, have not only cast a new light on their relationship but also raised questions about the authenticity of many celebrity relationships portrayed on social media.

The ongoing divorce proceedings have seen a series of explosive claims from Sarah Kabu, with Simon Kabu’s legal team recently securing a court injunction to bar her from publishing or broadcasting alleged defamatory statements against him. The court case is still ongoing, and both parties have been advised to handle the matter with discretion. However, the public nature of their fallout continues to provide fresh material for discussion and debate.

Maureen Kabu Breaks Silence Amidst Incest Allegations

Maureen Kabu, the young woman at the center of sensational allegations made by Sarah Kabu regarding an alleged romantic relationship with her estranged husband Simon Kabu, has broken her silence. Maureen has publicly affirmed Simon Kabu as her “biggest mentor,” directly addressing the swirling controversy that has gripped social media and legal circles.

The allegations surfaced as part of the ongoing, high-profile divorce proceedings between Sarah and Simon Kabu. Sarah Kabu had formally requested that Maureen be included in the divorce case, citing adultery and the transfer of joint marital property to Maureen. Sarah’s lawyer further fueled the fire by claiming that Maureen was “pretending to be Simon’s daughter” and implying an “incestuous union.”

In response to these grave accusations, Maureen Kabu has chosen to speak out through her public platforms, notably echoing sentiments about her relationship with Simon Kabu. While not directly addressing the term “incest” or the specifics of the property allegations, her recent posts highlight a relationship rooted in guidance and support.

One notable TikTok video from Maureen features her expressing gratitude towards Simon Kabu, stating, “Dad, thank you for guiding me, believing in me, and standing by me through it all. Your love and wisdom have shaped the best parts of who I am.” This statement clearly positions Simon Kabu in a paternal and mentorship role, rather than a romantic one.

Simon Kabu himself has vehemently denied the claims, dismissing them as “baseless” and attributing them to a “defamation case” being built against his estranged wife, Sarah. In a recent statement, he emphasized his “obligation as a father to protect and mentor my children,” stating unequivocally, “My children will always be my children, and I will ensure they all succeed.” He also urged Sarah to “heal and just move on.”

The public exchange underscores the deeply personal and often painful nature of the Kabu’s divorce. As the legal proceedings continue, Maureen Kabu’s public stance aligns with Simon Kabu’s insistence on a paternal relationship, portraying him as a guiding figure in her life amidst the contentious accusations. The ongoing saga continues to draw significant public interest as more layers of the family’s dynamics are revealed.

Sarah Kabu Accuses Simon Kabu of Incestuous Relationship With ‘Daughter’ (Photo)

The ongoing divorce proceedings between prominent Kenyan entrepreneurs Sarah and Simon Kabu have taken a shocking turn, with Sarah Kabu leveling grave accusations against her estranged husband. She alleges that Simon Kabu is involved in a romantic relationship with a young woman he publicly introduced as his daughter, Maureen Kabu, further claiming that this amounts to an “incestuous union.”

The sensational claims surfaced as Sarah Kabu officially requested that Maureen Kabu be included in the divorce proceedings, citing adultery and the dissipation of joint marital property as grounds for her case. According to Sarah, Simon has transferred significant matrimonial assets, including vehicles and property, to Maureen, treating her as an intimate partner rather than a child.

Sarah Kabu stated that she only became aware of Maureen Kabu’s presence in the family in April 2022, after Simon Kabu allegedly eloped with Maureen and their own children to Amboseli. A crucial point raised by Sarah is the absence of any DNA tests to definitively prove Maureen Kabu’s biological relationship to Simon Kabu. She has openly described the nature of their alleged relationship as having “hallmarks of an incestuous union,” fueling public outrage and concern.

In response to these explosive allegations, Simon Kabu has vehemently denied any indecent relationship with Maureen. He reportedly dismissed Sarah’s claims as baseless, suggesting that lawyers are paid to write anything. Simon emphasized his paternal obligation to protect and mentor all his children, stating, “My children will always be my children, and I will ensure they all succeed.” He further urged his estranged wife to “heal and just move on,” and alluded to a pending defamation case.

This is not the first time the Kabu’s public separation has made headlines. Their marital woes became widely known following a series of public spats and accusations, including an alleged incident involving Sarah and a house help. While there were recent rumors of a reconciliation after the couple was spotted together on a yacht, Sarah quickly clarified that this was purely a business engagement to celebrate an award their company, Bonfire Adventures, had received, emphasizing that their divorce is still ongoing.

The latest accusations have plunged the high-profile divorce into a deeper abyss of controversy, raising serious legal and ethical questions. As the case proceeds, the public awaits further developments, particularly regarding the demand for DNA evidence and the court’s stance on these deeply disturbing allegations.

Are Simon And Sarah Kabu Back Together? New Video Sparks Reunion Rumors

A recent video shared by Bonfire Adventures CEO Simon Kabu has ignited speculation that he and his estranged wife, Sarah ‘Mtalii’ Njoki, may have reconciled. Simon posted a video on his Facebook account featuring himself, Sarah, and another couple enjoying a yacht cruise in Dar es Salaam.

The foursome appeared to be having a fantastic time, with Simon and Sarah even seen dancing together, mimicking the popular ‘Wa Wa Wa in the World’ routine popularized by a Ugandan father-son duo. Sarah was dressed in a floral white net dress, while Simon sported shorts and a T-shirt, and their interactions showed no signs of animosity.

In another clip, Simon continued his energetic dancing alongside a friend, much to the amusement of the seated ladies. It’s clear Simon enjoys a good dance, though perhaps a professional like Aggie The Dance Queen could refine his moves.

In his caption, Simon revealed the celebration was in honor of Bonfire Adventures being named Kenya’s Leading Travel Agency in 2025 at the World Travel Awards.

“The celebrations of Bonfire Adventures winning Kenyans Leading Tours and Travel Agency 2025 went late into the Sunday night in Dar es Salaam aboard a Yacht. Who danced better?” he playfully asked.

The video has left many wondering if this marks a new chapter for the prominent couple.

Former Nanny Appeals After Court Dismisses KSh 28 Million Lawsuit Against the Kabus

Simon Kabu and Sarah Njoki’s former nanny has taken her case to the Court of Appeal after the Employment and Labour Relations Court dismissed her lawsuit alleging sexual harassment, violation of dignity, and invasion of privacy by the estranged business couple.

The woman, identified as JK, had sued the Bonfire Adventures directors for over KSh 28 million, claiming her rights were violated during her employment. The case gained public attention in December 2024 after Simon allegedly leaked CCTV footage of an altercation between JK and Sarah. The footage fueled online speculation about the couple’s marital troubles, with JK asserting that she was unfairly labeled a “husband snatcher” and targeted on social media.

In her lawsuit, JK sought KSh 7 million for alleged sexual harassment by Sarah, another KSh 7 million for breach of confidentiality due to Simon’s release of the footage, and KSh 14 million for violation of her privacy and dignity by both parties.

However, Justice Manani ruled that JK’s lawsuit was inadmissible because her employment contract had already been terminated on October 15, 2024, following an out-of-court settlement with the Kabus. The judge stated that since there was no existing employer-employee relationship, the Employment and Labour Relations Court had no jurisdiction over the matter. JK, however, claims she was coerced into the settlement by police officers whom she believes were influenced by the Kabus.

Additionally, the judge ruled that since JK was employed by Bonfire Adventures, a registered company, rather than Simon and Sarah personally, her claims against them should have been filed in a Magistrate’s Court rather than the Employment and Labour Relations Court. Despite this, he acknowledged that the ELRC has original and unlimited jurisdiction over all labor disputes, including those within a magistrate’s jurisdiction.

JK’s lawyer, Mr. Arunda, criticized the ruling, arguing that the judge should have transferred the case instead of dismissing it entirely.

“The ELRC, as an extension of the High Court, has jurisdiction over all employment disputes. Striking out a case should always be a last resort. This is why we are dissatisfied with the decision and have already filed a notice of appeal at the Court of Appeal,” said Arunda.

Simon Kabu Petitions Court to Dismiss Nanny’s Sh21 Million Lawsuit Against Him and His Estranged Wife

Simone Kabu the CEO  of Bonfire Adventures Travel Agency wants the case in which he and his estranged wife Sarah have been sued by their former nanny for Sh21 million dismissed.
The nanny has sued the estranged couple over a home video that went viral, citing a breach of privacy, cyberbullying, sexual harassment by Sarah, and mental anguish.

Sarah Kabu Explains Why She Attacked Her Husband With a Knife

In December 2024, the nanny was thrust into the limelight following an alleged  CCTV footage that triggered a debate on the marital woes of the Bonfire Adventures Directors.
JK (the woman) claims in court papers that her employment as a nanny and homeschool teacher for the Kabus’ two children in June 2024 was part of a ruse aimed at using social media to make her a scapegoat for the estranged couple’s marital problems.

JK’s case has shone a spotlight on the seemingly troubled life of the Kabus, which is a stark contrast to what the estranged duo has shown the public for years – a happy-clappy power couple using their perfect marriage to grow their company into a tourism industry behemoth.
The case has also revealed that Sarah may have narrowly dodged criminal charges for causing actual bodily harm to JK, which carries a maximum prison sentence of five years.

She is seeking Sh7 million for sexual harassment by Sarah, Sh7 million for breach of confidentiality by Simon’s release of the CCTV footage, and violation of dignity by both Simon and Sarah.

The saga, which has snowballed into an intrusive legal battle exposing secrets of the Bonfire Adventures proprietors, started on July 8, 2024, barely a month after JK was hired.
Simon and Sarah were already separated, with the latter having already moved out of their marital home in the posh Edenville gated community along Kiambu Road.

JK says in court papers that Simon had all along attributed Sarah’s absence from the home to a busy working schedule.
She says Simon and Sarah’s marriage became problematic with her thrown in the center of it despite remaining professional in her duties.
While Sarah wanted her gone and even fired her, Simon ordered her to stay a situation that intensified the couple’s marriage woe.
JK says during the back and forth between the married couple, she was at one point assaulted by Sarah who she also alleges hurled sexual innuendos at her. When she threatened to report the matter, JK says Simon urged her not to.

On August 28, 2024, Simon sent Sh250,000 to JK’s bank account, but the court papers do not indicate what the money was for. On October 15, 2024, Sarah and JK reached an out-of-court deal, and it was agreed that the money Simon had sent the latter be considered part of the settlement fee.
She notes that Sarah was also willing to give her an extra Sh100,000 to close the matter. JK now maintains that she agreed to the settlement out of duress.

“I opted for settlement because I was disappointed at how my case was being handled, the prejudice, and negative discrimination I faced at the Kiambu police station. Sarah’s case was a clear manifest of how the rich are protected by the law even if they are in the wrong,” JK says in her court filings.

The matter should have ended on October 15, 2024, after the deal was signed and everyone was told that the CCTV footage had been deleted.

But on December 4, 2024, the same video that was non-existent started trending on social media. Some social media users claimed that JK was romantically involved with Simon and that she was pregnant.
She now claims that Simon and Sarah paid some bloggers and social media users to malign her name for publicity stunts.

When JK called Simon and asked why he had leaked the video. Simon allegedly said he mistakenly sent it to the Bonfire Adventures WhatsApp group while trying to get the footage to his lawyer.

Those form the basis of JK’s next two claims for violation of privacy and reputational damage, for which she wants Sh14 million.
Simon filed a preliminary objection terming her former employee’s case as frivolous, bad in law, vexatious,s and an abuse of court.
He also wants the case to be struck out, on the grounds that, the Employment and Labour Relations court has jurisdiction to determine the suit.
The matter came up for mentioning this week before Hon. Justice Bernard Matanga who directed the parties  appear before him on 27th March 2025 for the ruling of Mr Kabu’s objection.

Sarah Kabu Explains Why She Attacked Her Husband With a Knife

Sarah Mtalli, a Kenyan entrepreneur and founder of Bonfire Adventures, was interviewed on Dr. Ofweneke’s show “Lessons at 30.”

The interview covered a wide range of topics, including Mtalli’s personal life, her career in the tourism industry, and her thoughts on love, relationships, and women’s empowerment.

Mtalli opened up about her marriage and divorce, revealing that she had been emotionally separated from her husband for several years before the official divorce. She revealed that the person she attacked in the video was an employee of one of Simon Kabu’s baby mamas who had started bringing friends over to where their children lived.

She also shared her experiences with marriage counseling and the challenges of maintaining a healthy work-life balance while running a successful business.

The interview also touched on Mtalli’s childhood and her journey to becoming a successful entrepreneur. She discussed her early ambitions, her education, and the challenges she faced in building Bonfire Adventures.

Mtalli also shared her insights on women’s empowerment and the importance of self-care. She encouraged women to prioritize their own happiness and to build strong support systems.

Sarah Mtalii and Simon Kabu: Navigating New Paths Amid Divorce Speculations

In 2024, Bonfire Adventures CEO Sarah Mtalii announced that she would no longer be using her husband Simon Kabu’s surname, sparking rumors of a potential divorce. Sarah has since rebranded herself, adopting the name “Sarah Mtalii,” which translates to “Sarah the Tourist” in Swahili.

The entrepreneur, who shares two children with Simon, clarified that she is reverting to her maiden name and will officially go by “Sarah Njoki Nyaga.” Sharing her decision on social media, Sarah explained:
“Guys, I’m rebranding my name. I will now be known as Sarah Mtalii. My official name is Sarah Njoki Nyaga. I will no longer be using the name Sarah Kabu. So from today, when referring to me, please use Sarah Mtalii, my brand name online. I want to thank my fans for their overwhelming support. I know you didn’t know what I was going through.

“I want to apologize for encouraging women to stay in marriages where there is infidelity. Ladies, I’m asking for your forgiveness. If things aren’t working, it’s better to leave while you still can,” Sarah stated in a video. She further emphasized, “From today onwards, if it’s not working, it’s not working—just leave.”

The couple, who once presented a united front, now appears to be pursuing separate paths both personally and professionally.

Simon Kabu Returns from Solo Trip, Remains Silent on Sarah Amidst Divorce Proceedings

Bonfire Adventures CEO Simon Kabu arrived at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport following a solo holiday, pointedly avoiding questions about his wife, Sarah Kabu. This comes amidst ongoing reports of a divorce case and related child custody issues at the Kiambu Law Courts.

Upon landing, Kabu briefly spoke to content creators, confirming that his trip was a solo one. However, when asked about Sarah’s whereabouts, he declined to comment, stating his focus was on the new year and his business ventures. “We are talking about the business we will have in 2025 and wishing people a happy new year,” he said.

This evasive response follows previous reports detailing the Kabus’ impending divorce. Sarah’s lawyers have reportedly sent a letter to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) regarding the ongoing divorce proceedings (Divorce Cause No. MCDC E086 OF 2024 at Kiambu Magistrate Court) and a related children’s case. The letter reportedly stated that continued actions by Kabu could put the children at risk and noted existing gag orders in both cases prohibiting Kabu from public commentary.

In a recent social media post, Sarah referred to Simon as her “ex” and urged the DCI to expedite investigations into her complaints of gender-based violence, alleging she is the target of paid online smear campaigns. She claimed Kabu is leveraging his connections to obstruct justice, stating, “My X is connected everywhere and keeps boasting that I cannot take him anywhere in this country, and I want justice…”

Sarah has previously disclosed that she has moved out of their matrimonial home in Runda, comparing it to “Misri (Egypt), where the Israelites were slaves,” and has showcased her new residence in a high-end Nairobi neighborhood.

Sarah recounted how her son embraced his role as the “man of the house” following their move. “After we relocated to our new home, I told my son he would now be the man of the house. I was amazed by how he accepted it. As a child, he observes and adapts to family changes,” she noted.

The Bonfire Adventures Managing Director further shared that her son christened every family member with the name “Mtalii” because he no longer wanted to associate with the Kabu name. “He called me Sarah Mtalii and made it clear he didn’t want to hear the name Kabu again,” she said.

He further detailed that the altercation occurred after the nanny had been employed for about a month without any previous issues.

“The incident took place that morning, and the lady was hurt. She reported the matter to Kiambu Police Station, and a case was filed. Some people even tried to label it as attempted murder,” Kabu recounted.

We learnt about Simon Kabu having kids with other baby mamas on the side and of course about his first born daughter – Maureen from his first relationship.

The same Maureen Kabu has however become a thorn in Sarah’s flesh – which brings us to Mrs Kabu’s latest statements about her step daughter. Speaking to Mpasho, Sarah revealed her reason for exposing hubby, Simon Kabu is because he took the kids without her consent; a move that left her feeling like a crazy woman. She said;

I was trending because I was defending my children I feel they are very precious and nobody should pull such a string just because you have some rights.

Adding;

I had never imagined that someone can come pick my kids and go with them without my permission. When it happened I became like that chicken who defends her chicks.

Everything has not been ironed out since I have not received an apology from the lady and there are still other dramas happening.

Well – I guess each family has a share of its own drama and the Kabu’s are still figuring there’s out.

Sarah Kabu admits slay queens gave her sleepless nights

A lot has been said about the Kabu’s and their alleged failed marriage – but through it all Simon Kabu has tried maintains his cool, insisting all is well. His wife, Sarah Kabu on the other hand seems to have a different tale about her Union to Kabu and insists it’s time to part ways.

Actually, she’s been wanting out since January 2022 – but claims Simon wasn’t having it.

The Bonfire adventures owner opened up about this during recent interview with Tina Lewis of Voice of East Africa; revealing that their marital woes began in 2003 but after 10 years of giving the marriage her best years, the solution is to put it all to an end.

Judging from the interview and what was said – I really don’t think there was any new information offered, that hasn’t been reported by bloggers yet.

However, we also can’t forget this is a personal issue between man and wife – meaning there are things, the public still don’t know about two.

Sarah&Simon Kabu

The other issue includes slay queens (which she didn’t really say much about) but judging from her statement;

I would like to love in a country without slay queens, they can give you sleepless nights.

Well – like I said Sarah Kabu didn’t say much about this young slay queens; but the fact that she knows that they can give you sleepless nights proves she’s speaking from experience. But what’s done is done, let’s move on!

Also, from the video – it’s evident to tell that Sarah Kabu isn’t okay. Her struggle with mental health is clearly shouting with the facial expressions.

 

Simon Kabu allegedly dodging wife to avoid divorce, here’s why

With Simon and Sarah Kabu’s private affairs making rounds on social media – there are new allegations claiming Simon Kabu is avoiding his wife, Sarah who allegedly wants to divorce him.

This was revealed by a certain Facebook user identified as Wangari Ngugi who claims Simon Kabu is afraid of losing everything once divorced by Sarah Kabu. Apparently this is because Sarah is the brains behind Bonfire adventures – meaning she owns the company and Simon may end up walking empty handed after the divorce.

The lass revealed this in a post where she wrote:

Im sorry. I am choosing vayolens. Shared as received. Apparently, this is the real saga behind the Kabu’s drama. Bonfire is Sarah’s brainchild. The lady can run this business 100%.

Adding;

Simon knows he’s nothing without her….hence the Range Rover handouts.

Screenshots from private conversations

And to make things even worse, a family member spilled more two on the breakup saying Simon Kabu apparently hid the fact that he has a 24 year old daughter from an old relationship.

With this new information (including the time he allegedly cheated) Sarah apparently wants nothing to do with her husband; but the fella is willing to fight for his marriage only because of ‘their’ successful business.

Well, not quite sure how true this is – but judging from how the couple has been moving on social media chances are that things may get ugly if not dealt with early.
