Appeal for prayers
He appealed for prayers, admitting that it has not been easy.
Reflections on how it began
“Of course, I will be very glad. Glad because hakuna msee hataki mamake akuwe hai.
Sharing what a positive result would mean for him, Bahati stated that he will be happy, as it is the hope of everyone to have their mother alive.
“Of course, I will be very glad. Glad because hakuna msee hataki mamake akuwe hai (Everyone wishes their mum to be alive),” he said, adding that “In my life, none of my parents has seen me struggle, and none of them has seen my success.”
Bahati: It all started as a joke
The singer shared that the whole saga began as a joke when the woman surfaced claiming to be his mother despite the fact that he grew up in a children’s home and believed that his mother was dead.

“Hii kitu ilianza kama jokes (This thing started as a joke),” Bahati said, adding that he has grown knowing that he is an orphan, having seen his mother pass on at a young age.
“I know my mum, and I saw her when she passed on, even though I was young. I have grown for 33 years knowing that I am an orphan,” he added as he prepared for any eventuality..
