On which parent should get Zahara in the custody battle between Brad and Angelina, Mentewab says,
“I want my daughter to stay with Angelina. She is a good mother and all children should stay with their mother. I am sorry that they are splitting up and I will pray for them, but I do not think it will affect Zahara that much”.
“I do not know who is in the right and who is in the wrong. It is very sad when a marriage breaks up, but I know they will be thinking about their children. I am not worried about Zahara in this as she will be looked after by them both. I know they love the children and they will not want any hurt to come to them”.
Despite reports that Brad may have been abusive to the children, Mentewab says she believes Brad is a good father to Zahara.
“I have read about what Brad Pitt is supposed to be like, but I do not recognize this person. This is a man who has looked after and cared for my daughter. He is a good man and I hope that they can settle whatever it is between them and move on with their lives”.
Mentewab keeps a chest drawer full of pictures and clippings from articles about Zahara found online.
“I am so proud when I see her face. She is growing into a beautiful young woman and that makes me so happy. I am very happy looking at her progress and see her grow up, but there is also much sadness as I know I am missing out on this. There are lots of children her age in the town and they look so much younger than her. She is tall and so beautiful and as her mother, I could not be prouder”.
“By taking her Angelina, has saved my baby’s life and she also saved my life. I will always be very grateful to her for that”.
