Kanumba’s mother Flora Mutegoa has dismissed the notion that actress Wema Sepetu is not having a child due to the curse spoken by her late son.
The late Steven Kanumba’s curse is mostly blamed for Wema’s infertility.
In an interview with Global TV Online, Mutegoa said that Wema and her are good friends and every day she prays to God to give her a family but also a child – something that Wema has been needing for a long time now.
“Yule mtoto Wema, namuombea kwa Mungu. Hajawahi nitukana, hajawahi nikashifu, hajawahi nisema vibaya na sitarajii kama hilo litakuja kutokea. Nikimpigia simu anasema mama shikamoo, unaendelea aje. Yaani yule mtoto namuombea kwa Mungu ampe maisha marefu aweze kupata familia mtoto basi tu. Hajawahi nichoka,” Kanumba’s mother said.
She further said she was praying for Wema’s relationship with Whozu to stand the test of time.
“Kwenye mahusiano mapya naomba Mungu asimame kati. Wamtangulize mungu, mimi hiyo couple yao naifurahia, naiunga mkono lakini wamtangulize Mungu,” Kanumba’s mother added.
In 2020, Wema Sepetu was overwhelmed with emotions during her show – ‘Cook with Wema Sepetu’ after Kanumba’s mother Mutegoa spoke to her about her son’s curse.
Ms Mutegoa said her son told her that he cursed Wema after she aborted two of his pregnancies back then when they were still dating.
Opening up about her past relationship with Kanumba, Wema recalled the late actor telling her that she wouldn’t be able to have kids again after she procured the two abortions.
In her defense, Wema explained that she was too young to have children at the time, and even if she decided to keep the pregnancy, she would disappoint her parents and cripple her acting career.
“I want to be very honest, I haven’t aborted any more than two pregnancies of the late Steven Kanumba. The reason I did it was because I was afraid of my parents. I was wondering how I would start explaining myself to them.
Even I wish to be called a mother, and honestly, there is nothing as painful as being told you will never have children.
You think I wouldn’t want to have my lookalike when God decides to take me from this world? I would love to take pictures with my child. I have wanted that with all my life, but I can’t!” Said Wema.
