Controversy
[edit]In early 2015, a videotape began circulating on social media platforms, showing what appeared to be Sanyu Robinah Mweruka in compromising positions, with a man who was not her husband. The man in the videotape was identified as Kizito Ongom, also known as Kasumaali, a kickboxer and heavy weight lifter.[7] In an interview with The Observer Newspaper, Kizito Ongom denied that he was the man in the tape.[8]
Sanyu also maintains that she is not the woman in the tape. Her position is that her facial features were photoshopped into that tape. Her husband stands by his wife and refuses to divorce her. He states that efforts were made to extort money from the couple, using that tape, as early as prior to their wedding, five years earlier.[9]
