On September 29, 2019, Wema Sepetu, affectionately known as Tanzania's sweetheart, marked her 31st birthday in grand style.
The former Miss Tanzania threw a high-profile party at a popular club in Dar Es Salaam, inviting close friends and family to join in the celebration.
The guest list was a who's who of Tanzanian celebrities, including Vanessa Mdee, Pierre, and Jacqueline Wolper.
Notably absent from the event were members of WCB, a record label with which Sepetu had previously been associated. She was once close friends with the label's members and even dated its CEO, Diamond Platnumz.
Sepetu's celebrity friends showered her with gifts, including a car, and showed their appreciation for her presence in their lives.
The birthday girl has been making headlines recently for her impressive weight loss, which has left her looking younger than her years.
