SWP: The industry is very competitive and every actress/actor wants to be on top, so how well are you prepared to put your mark in the industry?

SWP: We hear you are repeating your music video why so?
SABBY: I am not happy with my video... it doesn't demonstrate what my song is all about so I will not waste a good song because of a bad video.

SABBY: Yes i am in a relationship.
SWP: What are your likes and dislikes?
SABBY: I dislike how many big actors and singers don't take time to collaborate and work with newcomers and I am saying that because I have seen what other newcomers go through. Even I did on the side of music.
SWP: What challenges have you faced as a newcomer both in movies and music?
SABBY: In the film industry I have not had much challenges unlike in my music because of the kind of music that I sing in English language, so people from other countries know me better than the people from my own country. Also, I have had problems when coming to making my video.
SWP: They say some actresses specially newcomers are asked for sex to get film offers, how can you describe this?
SABBY: Yes it is true many do ask for sex...... and not just so that they can work with you but even if you don't need to work with them but as long as you are beautiful they flirt. But gladly I didn't go through that with everyone I have worked with so far, we kept it strictly professional.
SWP: What is your greatest weaknesses?
SABBY: My weakness is my son, I love him more than anything in this world and every hard work and struggle I make it is for him, I am a Single mom.
SWP: Where to see Sabby Angel in five years to come as an actress and a singer?
SABBY: Five years to come I will be doing movies at an international level and probably in other countries and continents as well in representing my country. And as for my music.. I already have plans to work with universal studios Sweden.
SWP: Anything you would like to tell your fans?
SABBY: I would like to tell my fans that I am not here for the fame or money but I am here to achieve my deepest passion of being an international artist representative of Tanzania. I am here to be a good role model to the society and I believe I can and I will because I believe 'I AM THE FUTURE'.. In God's Will.
