In her words, “I was not the first choice,” adding, “Na ni maisha, you will not always be the first choice.” Rashid then wishes her well in finding ‘the one’ upon which she laughs it off and maintains that as long as she’s the first choice, she doesn’t mind. ‘Swali Moja’ is a segment on Taarifa Za Magharib at 6:30 PM every weekday on QTV and at 6:30 AM on QFM brought to you by Rashid Abdalla then.
