Citizen TV Swahili news anchor Rashid Abdalla has heaped praise on the two women in his life.
Through a throwback photo posted on social media, the anchor explained how the two –his mother and wife Lulu Hassan - have impacted, eased and expanded his outlook on others.
He added that if others would love the two, he would reciprocate too in kind.
“Ukiwapenda hawa wawili nami ntakupenda. Kwa uwezo wa Mungu mmoja alinileta duniani na kunifunza maisha na viunganishi vyake na mwengine alinionesha thamani ya haya maisha kwa kuipa maana safari yangu ya kuishi,” wrote Rashid.
Abdalla has managed to keep his family private and not much is known about his mother.
His wife, on the other hand, has been on his side for over 10 years. They met at work while Lulu worked for Radio Salaam.
Their union, years later, at Royal Media Services as they made their debut as the first couple in the country to anchor news together, got the nation talking.
A powerhouse from NTV, Abdalla joined his wife following the departure of Lulu's long-term anchoring partner Kanze Dena who was appointed to the Presidential Service Communication Unit (PSCU).
