In Africa, a woman's worth is judged from how well she plays her traditional gender roles. She could bring home the bacon but what we as African look to is her skills as a home maker.A huge facet of this is a woman's ability to bear children and raise them. So you can appreciate the vulnerable position Diamond's ex lover Wema Sepetu put herself in when she came out to tell Africa she cannot sire children.

Indeed, Diamond himself came out to say that he felt sad for his ex over the issue but why is it that Wema cannot sire children? She opened up about that too and this is what she had to say:

“Unajua hili suala la mtoto linanisumbua sana yaani na linaniuma kwa sababu napenda watoto sana na pia napenda kuitwa mama, nimehangaika sana katika kuhakikisha nafanikiwa katika hili lakini ndiyo hivyo imeshindikana.

“Serious! Ilifika kipindi yaani nilikuwa nachukia nilipokuwa nikiziona siku zangu, nilikuwa sipendi kukutana na hiyo hali kwa sababu naumia sana lakini ndiyo hivyo baada ya kuhangaika sana inabidi nimwachie Mungu tu. Nahisi kukata tamaa lakini bado sijakata tamaa.

“Watu wananiambia mimi bado mdogo kwa hiyo sitakiwi kuwa na wasiwasi sana ila muda unakwenda, sasa nina miaka 27. Niliwahi kupata mimba mwaka 2008, aliyenipa alikuwa marehemu Kanumba, lakini baadaye ilitoka na aliposikia hivyo (Kanumba) alikasirika kwa kweli.

“Lakini baadaye ikawa kawaida, hata nilipokuja kuachana naye, bado alikuwa rafiki yangu na tulikuwa tunaongea vizuri na kupigiana simu kama kawaida ila alikuwa ananiambia ‘unajua una deni, nakudai watoto wangu na nitafanya juu chini ili unilipe’.

“Basi ikawa kawaida yake kuniambia hivyo, wiki chache kabla ya kufariki aliniomba tuonane lakini haikuwezekana kutokana na ratiba zetu kutofautiana.

“Kuna muda huwa nafikiri au mizimu yake inahusika katika hii ishu! (anacheka sana).

“Unajua ile mimba ya Kanumba hata mimi sikuwa tayari kupata mtoto wakati ule, niliona ndiyo kwanza naingia kwenye mapenzi halafu ndiyo nimetoka kuwa miss tu, sasa itakuwaje, lakini huwezi jua labda pengine kwenye ‘abortion’ walivuruga baadhi ya vitu ndiyo maana mpaka leo imekuwa hivi,”
