She later proceeded to Ganze Secondary School despite a constant lacking of school fees.

Unfortunately, Aisha Jumwa became pregnant while in form two. As a result, she dropped out of school to nurse her firstborn child.

Thereafter, she married off a young girl to a much older husband. Reputable sources say she divorced to pursue politics being that her spouse was against the idea.

Furthermore, she has left three marriages for her undying interest in politics. As we speak, she is a caring mother of three children among them two daughters and a handsome son.

In a recent interview, Aisha Jumwa said she was tired of being a housewife at the point of separating from her first husband.

“I was not content to be a housewife, so I took a keen interest in matters affecting communities and became a vocal voice to youth, women and people living with disabilities and I decided to join active politics.”

“I represent many who today are looking at Aisha Jumwa as a role model in that you can have a D or D- and get somewhere in life… So I am not even shy because it is in the public domain but I think that should not be used to judge Aisha Jumwa on sitting in the Cabinet. I think the person who nominated me to this position did his due diligence and saw that I am fit if approved by Parliament.”
