In a remarkable display of maturity amid their bitter, high-profile divorce, Sarah Mtalii has publicly revealed she is praying for her estranged husband, Bonfire Adventures CEO Simon Kabu, to find a new partner—but with one vital condition.
The surprising olive branch comes just days after Kabu found himself at the centre of an online frenzy following a public appearance with a young woman, which forced him to issue a clarification after the interaction went viral.
Speaking on Saturday, December 14, 2025, Sarah, who now uses her maiden name ‘Mtalii’ after relocating from the matrimonial home, insisted her thoughts for her former partner are sincere and focused entirely on the well-being of their children.
“Hapana, actually acha nikuambie Simon, mimi nakuombea kila siku upate mtu mzuri [No, actually let me tell you Simon, I pray for you every day to find a good person],” she stated.
The prayer, however, carried a significant and heartfelt clause: “…you know, mtu hatasumbua watoto wangu [a person who will not trouble my children].”
Sarah’s plea for peace and respect is viewed as a highly mature response following the intense speculation surrounding Kabu’s recent viral appearance at the Bonfire anniversary.
Videos showed the businessman arriving at the event with a woman whose identity immediately sparked rumors of a new romance.
Kabu was later forced to explain that the woman was his niece and an official staff member, a claim intended to quell the chatter that intensified due to the couple’s ongoing legal separation.

By making her prayers public, Sarah Mtalii effectively shifted the focus from the identity of Kabu’s future dates to the impact those relationships will have on their family.
The couple co-founded the multi-million-shilling Bonfire Adventures empire but are currently embroiled in protracted divorce proceedings, including highly publicized legal battles.
Despite the painful separation, Sarah Mtalii’s statement highlights a commitment to co-parenting harmony, showing her only concern is that any potential step-parent shows the same respect and care for their children.
Her desire for her ex-husband to find someone good, provided that person doesn’t disturb her children, has been widely lauded online for its emotional maturity and focus on the family’s future, even as she firmly closes the door on reconciliation rumors.
