Off the market: Hamisa Mobetto kisses bachelorette days goodbye
The wedding festivities began on February 15, when Aziz Ki honoured traditional customs by presenting 30 cows and Ksh 30 million as dowry to Hamisa’s mother, Shufaa Rutiginga
All single men out there have to hear this. Hamisa Hassan Mobetto, the Tanzanian singer, actress, businesswoman and socialite, is officially off the market!
The 30-year-old damsel kissed her bachelorette days goodbye on Sunday, February 16, 2025, when she said “I do” to her Ivorian husband Aziz Ki, a professional footballer with Tanzania’s top-flight league football club, Young Africans SC (Yanga).
The wedding festivities began on February 15, when Aziz Ki honoured traditional customs by presenting 30 cows and Ksh 30 million as dowry to Hamisa’s mother, Shufaa Rutiginga. The heartfelt gesture reinforced Aziz’s deep respect and commitment to the union.
Their elegant Nikah ceremony followed on February 16, officiated by the Grand Sheikh of Dar es Salaam, Sheikh Walid Alhad Omar, at the Nnuur Mosque in Mbweni.
This was followed by a grand reception on February 19 at the Superdome Masaki in Dar es Salaam. The night —hosted one of the region’s most sought after event hosts Azeezah Hashim of Kenya— was one to remember. It was attended by an exclusive guest list from across Africa’s entertainment and business industries.
Azeezah’s performance as emcee elevated the night’s excitement, making it a truly spectacular affair. Her role in the high-profile event further cemented her position as a leading media and events personality in East Africa. With such milestones, she continues her journey toward global recognition, inching ever closer to her Hollywood dreams.
“Now I have begun to see the fruits of my hard work. I have always been intentional about my journey. My dream is Hollywood, but to get there, you must set clear goals. My first goal was to establish myself in East Africa,” says Azeezah.
Azeezah’s relentless efforts and commitment to her craft caught the admiration of none other than Hamisa Mobetto herself. “I got a DM from Hamisa saying, ‘I’m getting married and I’d love for you to come and host for me.’ As someone who has followed her journey for a long time, I was in disbelief. You go from watching people on social media to actually working with them—it’s surreal,” says Azeezah.
On the night of the reception, Azeezah did not disappoint. She brought an unmatched vibrancy to the event, seamlessly guiding the evening’s proceedings and ensuring an unforgettable celebration for all in attendance. Guests were treated to a night of elegance, high-energy performances, and heartfelt moments, solidifying the event as one of the most talked-about in recent times.
