Ruth Matete has indicated that she is ripe for marriage again two years after she lost her Nigerian husband John Olakami Apewajoye in a tragic accident.

Speaking during an interview with a local publication, Matete said stated that she is looking for a mature man because she is also not young.
“Sitaki vijana. Nataka mzee. I am not a child bwana. I will be 37 next year. So I need someone who understands unajua umekuja kufanya nini,” she said.
“So I’m waiting for a man to come and tell me Pastor when I think about you. At my age, do you think I will start thinking about it? No, it’s when is the wedding, but I’m single. These two years, I had told myself I would give myself about two years before I can now think about being with another man,” she added.
Matete lost her husband just five months into her wedding in a tragic accident on April 11th, 2020.

Matete’s husband was admitted to Kenyatta National Hospital for two weeks before he succumbed to fire-related injuries while undergoing treatment.
