City entrepreneur Simon Kabu has been forced to make an urgent public clarification after a video of him arriving at a major company event with a young, striking brunette went viral, sparking a frenzy of speculation—all while his estranged wife, Sarah Mtalii, is pursuing a high-profile divorce.
The CEO of Bonfire Adventures was captured in live footage arriving at the company’s anniversary celebration with the mysterious woman, their hands linked in a manner that many attendees and social media users immediately interpreted as romantic.
The ensuing viral chatter led many to conclude that Kabu was flaunting a new relationship amidst the public breakdown of his marriage to co-founder Sarah Kabu.

Addressing the uproar in a video shared by SPM Buzz on Friday, December 12, 2025, Kabu moved swiftly to pour cold water on the romance rumours.
He insisted the woman accompanying him was neither a girlfriend nor a rebound—but his relative and employee.
“This special guest is actually my niece. She is also my staff because she works at Bonfire, which is why I arrived with her together,” Kabu explained, clarifying that the entrance was staged for “entry purposes” and event coordination.
The petite brunette, identified as Pauline Mwaura, backed up the businessman’s account, confirming the family and professional connection.
“Hi, my name is Pauline Mwaura. This is my uncle, and I am a tour consultant at Bonfire Adventures,” she stated.

The viral video, which garnered nearly 80,000 views and ignited wild speculation, proved particularly awkward given the bitter and highly public separation between Simon and Sarah.
The couple, who built the multi-million-shilling Bonfire Adventures empire together, are currently embroiled in ongoing divorce proceedings.
Sarah has relocated from their matrimonial home, publicly changed her name to Sarah Mtalii, and firmly denied any rumours of reconciliation despite recent sightings together at company-related events.
Kabu’s public display with Mwaura fueled fresh assumptions that the feud was intensifying.
The CEO stressed the urgent need to correct the narrative: “People might think that Sarah and I are fighting, so I would like SPM Buzz to also correct that.”
The public drama over a simple company entrance highlights the intensely scrutinised nature of the Kabu family’s life as their business ties continue amidst a legal battle marked by accusations of infidelity and a defamation lawsuit.
