Tanzanian singer Ben Pol unveiled his mzungu girlfriend during an interview but opted not to disclose specific details about her.

Ben Pol mentioned that he requires some time before officially introducing her to his online audience. During the interview at the Wasafi studios, the non-African girlfriend sat behind Ben Pol, offering a shy smile as he encouraged her to greet the audience through the microphone.


When questioned by the presenters, Ben Pol was asked if he had shifted away from dating East African women.

He laughed as he spoke about dating internationally.

Acting coy about the question, Ben Pol said "Okay mi nafikiri kwasababu ya kwa heshima ya Wasafi I will bring her on a separate day. Yes, I will bring her on another day please,".

Asked to confirm if the mzungu babe is his new girlfriend, Ben licked his lips "Nitamleta, atakuja kujieleleza."

The presenters, unsatisfied with Ben Pol's response, directed the question to the non-African girlfriend, inquiring whether they were in a relationship.

She smiled as well "I wish you would come here and we talk a little bit, please you say just hi" the presenters tried to convince her.

"There's gonna be a special day for you and this come say hi," Ben tells the mzungu as she is called to approach the microphone and address the nation.

She discloses her name as Helena, hailing from Germany.

Ben Pol interrupted the conversation, signaling his desire to conclude it.

"Okay, that's enough." he appreciated comments about her beauty.

Ben Pol adds his name to the roster of Tanzanian male artists who have been in relationships with or are currently dating non-Africans, commonly referred to as "mzungus."
