Wanjiru separated from her husband, Shem Bageine, Uganda’s former Minister for East African Affairs, in 1981 when she was in her mid-forties. Bageine relocated to Uganda after his Kenyan citizenship was revoked by the government in 1987
Earlier this week, renowned Kenyan actress Elizabeth Wanjiru better known as Charity Mwamba from her role in Citizen TV’s “Mother In Law” opened up on losing all her children thanks to a nasty divorce with her Ugandan ex-husband Shem Bageine.
She revealed that they had three kids together but they took separate ways and to constant disagreement, they parted ways and her ex-hubby took away all her kids.
Shosh also pointed out that their marriage was affected by Uganda politics.
“I was married by a Ugandan na wakati wa dictator ya Iddi Amin tulikuwa affected na Ugandan politics tena na some of the things so tuka part ways so wakati Museveni aliingia uwonngozini akaitwa huko asaidiane and a very serious thing happened alibeba watoto wote mimi naishi peke nyangu,” she narrated.
The two were married for 13 years. Shem Bageine is a Ugandan Minister of State for East African Affairs.
Apart from taking all the kids with him, Shem also wanted to take over a house, they co-own in Loresho.
Four years ago, Charity, emerged victorious after she demanded a share of their matrimonial property ownership following a three-decade court battle.
‘Shosh’ was married to Bageine for 13 years and during their marriage, they jointly purchased the house which Bageine registered in his name.
In her argument, she said that the man walked out of their marriage in 1981.
He went back to his native Uganda in 1987 to build his career after his Kenyan citizenship was revoked by the government.
