Deborah Babu, 60 years old, she didn’t expect to fall in love when she met her now husband, Saitoty Babu30, during a trip to Tanzania with her daughter, Royce, 30, in October 2017.

After arriving on a beach in Zanzibar, 15,000 kilometers from their home in the United States, the women met Saitoty, who offered them some ‘souvenirs’. Although she opted not to receive the souvenirs, the retired police officer asked if she could have a picture with him because I had never met a member of the Maasai people.

Immediately, the two exchanged phone numbers and chatted. Two weeks passed and the American returned to Sacramento, but the new friends did not lose communication. In December 2017, Deborah went to Tanzania again and the man did not miss the opportunity: He took out his engagement ring and asked her to marry him. The Sun reported it.

Without thinking, she accepted, and the couple wed in June 2018 in the midst of a traditional Maasai ceremony. They also had a marriage legalized by the US government: “I never expected to find a husband and marry someone much younger than me, but he’s the kindest and most loving man,” said Deborah Babu.

Family support

Fortunately, Deborah’s children were supportive of the engagement and encouraged her to keep going: “When you first said you were going to marry me, I thought you were crazy. But my kids and family said I didn’t have to worry about the age difference, as I’d been alone long enough and deserved to be happy.

“I was a happy, single woman and was reluctant to date someone 30 years younger. My oldest daughter, Tiffany, 32, and my son, Sherrick, 27, met him on FaceTime and encouraged me to , to travel to Tanzania again.” , the woman reminded the British press.

After making their relationship official, the horny couple has received criticism for their age difference. The woman also revealed that some people on social media accused “Saitoty of only staying with me for the green card, which hurts because I know how little she wants to live in the United States.”

“People ask me if I adopted him or if I’m his grandmother. We focus on our happiness no matter what they say,” Deborah added.

Saitoty, a rancher, recalled how the first time he saw Deborah he felt like he “saw an angel”. He continued, “We laughed together and took a picture and she just melted my heart.”

“She is beautiful and kind and supports me. Having a wife is a big step for me. I am proud of our marriage,” said the young man.

“It hurts me a lot to see mean comments, but now I see other people with age differences and it helps us ignore what people are saying. Age is just a number and it doesn’t stop me from loving and caring for my wife.”

Despite the negative comments, Deborah Babu and Saitoty are still together. “It’s a very different life here in Tanzania, but I’m happy. We cook on the fire and we don’t have running water. We are building a cabin right now and we also need to build our own stairs,” the wife said.

Now both continue to live in Tanzania and do not listen to criticism. Deborah is still in love like the first day. “He’d do anything to get me a piece of chocolate, for example. He’s the kindest, most loving man she’s ever met.”

Freddie Mercury’s Island

Zanzibar is an archipelago in the Indian Sea that has a rich history of uprisings, failed attempts at independence, and various curiosities.One of the most important is that on September 5, 1946, the leader of Queen, Freddie Mercury was born.

At that time the Sultanate of Zanzibar was living in full British domination and after a long war the first steps towards a state that did not convince everyone were beginning to be glimpsed.

Farrokh, -Freddie-, was born in 1946 into a Persian family of British nationality. For the next 16 years, little Bulsara straddled Zanzibar and Bombay, where he studied. The last time the island saw its prodigal son was in 1962, shortly before the proclamation of the Union of the Republic of Tanzania, regrouped, under the supervision of Great Britain in 1964, from the Tanzania and Tanganyika Empires and from Zanzibar.
