Tanzanian actress and entrepreneur Jokate Mwegelo has spoken for the first time, after she was appointed Kisarawe District Commissioner by President John Pombe Magufuli.

In a post on her Instagram page, Ms. Kidoti who has kept away from social media from the month of April thanked God for her new job adding that He never forgets his faithful.

The former beauty queen went ahead and disclosed that she had a challenging 2017 that saw her almost give up on everything, but she did not.

Jokate in the post also encouraged that despite all challenges one might be going through, they should always remember to be humble and pray to God to give them strength to wait for his timing.

Jokate’s post;

“Amini Mungu ni mwingi wa rehema kamwe hamtupi amtumainiye yeye!! Ahsante Mungu Wangu. Labda ni-share kitu kidogo, kuna muda mwaka jana mwishoni nilikuwa so down nilitamani kukata tamaa na kila kitu kwenye maisha nilikuwa pia sijaelewa vizuri hatma yangu kwenye siasa. Nilikuwa kwenye mkutano mkuu wa chama kuna mdada mmoja kutoka Arusha akanikimbilia na kunikumbatia kwa nguvu sana alikuwa na mama mmoja hivi walikuwa wamekuja kupiga picha namimi. Huyo dada mdogo hivi akasema ananipenda sana sana na mimi ndio nilimfanya aingie kwenye siasa na akagombea nafasi kupitia mkoa wa Arusha akashinda!! Nikabaki natabasamu. Ikanipa nguvu kubwa ya kupiga moyo konde na kusonga mbele. Nilifurahi kuona kuna mdada nimeweza kumhamasisha na kumpa ujasiri wa kugombea.

Unaweza ukawa unapitia mitihani migumu sana kwenye maisha yako lakini inakubidi usikate tamaa saa zingine kwasababu tu ya wale wanaokutegemea, wanaokuangalia na kuvutiwa nawe na kujifunza kupitia maisha yako. Lakini zaidi kwasababu safari ya mafanikio ina milima na mabonde, inabidi upambane na kiukweli hakuna mafanikio yasiokuwa na changamoto. Na kuna muda changamoto ndio haswa zinatengeneza zetu. Kikubwa zaidi wakati wa changamoto tukumbuke kuwa wanyenyekevu, wenye kujishusha na kumuomba Mungu aendelee kutupa imani, hekima na busara ya kusubiri wakati wake. Tukumbuke Mungu hamtupi mja wake. Nawatakia Jumapili Njema. Nawapenda Sana. Ahsanteni,” she said.
