Babu Tale clears air on allegations that he sacrificed his wife for power

Babu Tale and his late wife Shamsa Kombo.

Newly-elected Morogoro MP and musician Diamond Platnumz's manager Babu Tale has denied claims that he killed his wife, Shamsa Kombo Tale. It had been alleged that the first-time legislator had killed his wife for power. Speaking during an interview with Clouds FM, Tale dismissed the claims saying jealous people generated them. He further maintained that he loved his wife and she loved him too.

"Watu wanasema kwamba nilimuua mke wangu kwa kumtoa kafara, hii yote ni propaganda tu. Mimi nilimpenda sana mke wangu na nisingefanya jambo lolote la kuvunja ndoa yangu, tulipendana sana. (People who say that I killed my wife by sacrificing her to black magic are just propagandists. I really loved my wife and I could never go against the marriage institution by breaking it all in a bid of chasing leadership and power)," he said.
