Diamond's former manager Babu Tale turned politician, says he is in dire need of a counsellor. This is after he is unable to overcome the grief one year after his wife Shamsa Kombo Tale passed on.

Through his Instagram page, the Morogoro South constituency MP said he does not wish anyone to go through the process as it is hard for him.

He added that for nine days now, he has not managed to sleep peacefully as he is always thinking about his wife.

Check out Babu Tale's post;

'Kuna vitu omba visikukute katika maisha yako. Usiombe uondokewe na mke au mume. Mimi napitia maisha magumu sana kila ukiona unakaribia kukaa sawa kumbe unajiona bado maumivu hayaishi maana leo nina siku ya tatu naamka tisa usiku vilio na maumivu yasio isha.

Sijawahi kutamani kukutana na mwana saikojia ila kwa sasa nahitaji kwakweli maana hali yangu sio nzuri kwenye hiki ninachopitia namkumbuka sana mkewangu. Mungu aendelee kukulaza mahala pema Mama TT.

[There are things I don't wish for anyone. Don't wish for your spouse to die and leave you. I am going through a tough life every time you feel you are okay, you realize the grief is still there.

Today is my ninth day of unending pain. I have not admired visiting a counsellor but I know I am in dire need of them since I am not okay. I am always thinking about my wife. May her soul rest in peace.]
