Legendary Tanzanian singer Khadija Kopa, mother to new-school singer Zuchu has revealed that she is only getting hit on by younger boys.
Kopa said this when asked if she had gotten a man.
“Wanatokezea lakini sitaki vijana. Mungu hajanijalia kupata wanaume watu wazima, sijui kwa nini,” she told Wasafi Fm
Adding “Watoto wa siku hizi hawaogopi.” (Kids of nowadays do not fear)
Asked what she tells them when they hit on her, she said;
“Nawaambia wewe ni mtoto mdogo kwangu. Haufai kwangu mimi, katafute kijana mwenzio….Sina muda huo.”
She concluded by saying she needs a man who is 50 and above.
Additionally, Kopa recently attracted media attention at the beginning of this year when she expressed that she does not recognize the relationship between Zuchu and Diamond.
She said the only relationship she would accept had followed the protocol of dowry payment.
“Mahusiano yake siyajui. Sababu mahusiano tunayoyajua sisi wazee kwa utaratibu wa utamaduni wetu mtu akija kiposa ndio unayajua mahusiano. Lakini mahusiano ya nje siyajui. Anayajua yeye mwenyewe kwa hilo muulize yeye mwenyewe,” She told Wasafi Media
(I am not aware of her relationship as the relationships that I know, according to our cultural order, are only established when someone comes to the house and introduces themselves. However, I am not familiar with foreign relationships. I would suggest asking her about the relationship.)
“Ila bado hajaposwa, hakuna mahari. Kama kuna mtu ana mapesa yake aje, sio pesa nyingi. Simba hajamuoa wala hajaleta mahari, sio mumewe wala sio mchumba wake, mtu mwingine yeyote anawezakuja.”
(To clarify, she is not currently married, and there is no existing dowry. If someone is interested, they can come with a small amount of money. It’s important to note that Simba has not married her or become her fiancé, so she is still available for marriage to others.)
