A 75-year-old Tanzanian man has launched an elaborate search for a new wife after his wife died.
The man identified as Athumani Mchambua, revealed he needs a hardworking lady, who will be able to handle farm work as well as be a step-mother to his 11 children..
The advert, written in Swahili, was placed in the low income area of Mbagala in the main city of Dar es Salaam ..
Athumani, who has so far interviewed 4 candidates, told the BBC’s Munira Hussein, that he wanted to do the search on his own and not through intermediaries, which is traditional in some cultures.
He said:
He said:
“I felt that if I was to use a traditional intermediary to find a wife, they might find a woman and then want to keep her for themselves. That’s why I decided that I search for her on my own, and put out those posters.”
I have held the interview only once and four candidates showed up, but no one had all the qualities. Some mentioned only two out of four [qualities] but not more than that.”
He then urged interested applicants to show up for an interview in person.
His daughter Dalia Mchambua told the BBC that she was happy with her father’s process and was ready to accept the winning “candidate” as her mother.
