So people have been asking a lot about 'Anita why are you not getting married and ikaleta a bit of an issue and when am on air most people tell me that I do not have experience I don't have the experience.
I am 27 let us start there. And people expected at 27 you are looking for a husband and want to get married.. But I have an ex-husband. I was married at 17 years, everybody looks at me like kwani ulianza maisha ukiwa na miaka ngapi.
I got out of high school straight into a marriage to someone 10-years older than me.
And it was not a good situation because I was at loggerheads with my parents so I could not go back home then. And for me that was refuge; I am 17, I know how to chill there's no way you could convince me that I was not in love.
So the marriage was good for six months and he started being violent.
He beat me up so much it landed me in hospital a million times." She said pointing at one of the marks she got from her then violent husband.
One year down the line I got pregnant at 18 years and I had my baby at 19 and don't forget I was still being battered and he was still a drunk. I had my son and I thought he was going to change wapi!
