During an emotional speech at an event hosted by her Virtuous Women Foundation, Sarah revealed that the name “Mtalii” holds deep personal significance, as it was inspired by her son.

“The brand name Sarah Mtalii is very dear to me because my son inspired it,” she said, her voice breaking with emotion. “Children have a unique way of finding inspiration, even in the toughest times.” She paused briefly, overwhelmed by tears, as attendees clapped in support, with several women coming to the stage to comfort her.

Sarah recounted how her son embraced his role as the “man of the house” following their move. “After we relocated to our new home, I told my son he would now be the man of the house. I was amazed by how he accepted it. As a child, he observes and adapts to family changes,” she noted.

The Bonfire Adventures Managing Director further shared that her son christened every family member with the name “Mtalii” because he no longer wanted to associate with the Kabu name. “He called me Sarah Mtalii and made it clear he didn’t want to hear the name Kabu again,” she said.

Sarah dropped the name Kabu after parting ways with the father of her two children, a split that became a public spectacle following the release of CCTV footage. The footage appeared to show a woman, believed to be Sarah, confronting another woman, with a man, presumed to be Simon Kabu, stepping in to intervene.

Addressing the controversy, Sarah questioned how the footage was leaked and challenged her estranged husband to reveal the identity of the other woman. Simon, however, clarified that the woman in the video was their house manager, who had been professionally recruited. He added that the incident had been reported to the police for investigation.
