The Wedding
The former news anchor said “I Do” to his longtime girlfriend in a wedding that was kept away from the public lime light back in November 2018.
In a Islamic wedding that was attended by close friends, relatives and colleagues, the journalist could not hide his joy, admitting that it was a long term dream to get married.
"Mwanaume yeyote hii ni miongoni mwa ndoto ambazo ako nazo. Nina furaha sana. Kama ulivyoona hapo awali nilikuwa nazungumza lakini machozi yanataka kutoka na machozi yanatoka sio eti kwa sababu nasikitika, ni tears of joy,"
“This is among the dreams of every man. As you saw earlier, I was talking with tears almost dropping from my eyes. It is not that I am sad. They are tears of joy” said Bhalo.
At that particular time, Bhalo admitted that people were on his case, asking when he would get married.
“Wengi walikuwa wakiniuliza na wapo hapa-Bhali utaoa lini, Bhalo utaoa lini. Lakini sasa leo nawaambia tayari nishaoa. (Many, some of whom are here today were asking when I would get married. However today I tell them that I am already married.)” He said.
Fired Twice
In March 2021, Bhalo disclosed that he was fired twice by Mediamax owned TV Station K24 in an encouragement note addressed to Shaffie Weru.
“Mimi nilifutwa kazi mara 2 na @K24Tv. Nimejifunza vitu 2: Kwanza, ukiajiriwa mahali usijisahau na kuchukulia kampuni kama ya babako. Hata kwa babako unaweza futwa. Pili, kuachishwa kazi sio mwisho wa maisha. Kaangu Shaffie kila la kheri” Shared Ahmed Juma Bhalo.
In October 2019, Bhalo penned down a farewell message to his K24 viewers, after the station retrenched a good number of its employees, in the quest to cut down costs.
