Sarah Mtalii’s latest interview with TUKO reveals something increasingly rare: composure.
The businesswoman and public figure, best known for her high-profile split from Bonfire Adventures CEO Simon Kabu, offered measured clarity in her sit-down with the platform earlier today—debunking some long-held beliefs and subtly redefining the kind of womanhood she wants to be known for.
One of the biggest revelations? The KSh 30 million Range Rover Sport often linked to her ex-husband wasn’t a romantic gift at all.“I saved for it for five years,” she said plainly, countering the public narrative that had credited her former partner with the luxurious purchase.
More surprising than the car revelation, perhaps, was her claim that she’s received several marriage proposals since walking away from her marriage.
The proposals, she says, have little to do with her looks or public status.“Men now want virtuous women,” she noted, explaining that many of the men approaching her say they value character over flash.
She speaks of virtue as the ability to carry oneself with dignity, to live with intention, and to move forward without bitterness.
Mtalii has kept a notably low profile in recent months—eschewing long rants, cryptic Instagram posts, or teary online confessions. Even in today’s interview, her tone was resolute, not resentful. Her words, few but telling.
This interview is one of the few instances where she has addressed aspects of her personal life directly. Until now, much of her story has been told through rumor, assumptions, and digital gossip.
By correcting the Range Rover myth and reframing her post-divorce reality, she appears to be slowly taking back the pen.
Mtalii’s declaration that “men now want virtuous women” could be seen as a signal shift in modern relationship dynamics—or at least, in how women like her are perceived in the aftermath of high-profile divorces.
In Sarah’s case, that looks like focusing on her business, taking her time with love, and grounding her self-worth in something other than how loudly her name trends.
Sarah Mtalii, with calm poise and quiet assertion, is making it clear: she’s just getting started.
And perhaps in that, virtue has never looked more powerful.
