Socialite Manzi wa Kibera was overcome with emotion as she viewed the body of her late boyfriend, known as Mzae. Mzae passed away recently, and Manzi, accompanied by family and friends, visited City Mortuary on April 23 to pay her respects.
She intends to honor his memory with a tattoo, reminiscing about the fond memories they shared, particularly recalling a popular TikTok live session they did together.

“The memories are plentiful; I remember how we got 1.5k likes, all because of him. I may even bury him with those videos. I’m afraid of the pain of getting tattoos, but for Mzae, I’ll find an artist who can create an artificial one so I don’t feel the pain when getting inked. I’ll also bury him with all the matching clothes we had. I’ll keep a T-shirt to frame,” she expressed.
The 23-year-old became overwhelmed with emotion and initially found it difficult to view Mzae’s body. “I don’t have the strength,” she confided in a friend who supported her.
Manzi explained to her friend that she needed time to compose herself and would return another day to pay her respects to Mzae’s body. Two days prior, she recounted how Mzae’s family informed her that he had been unwell.
“They called me and said, ‘He’s not feeling well. Send something.’ So I sent them 1000 shillings the first time,” she shared.
Just a day before, Manzi, along with her new boyfriend and Mzae, had shared a video of themselves enjoying a meal together. In the video, she sat between the two men as they leaned in to enjoy their food.
“Rest In Peace, Sammy Ndunda,” she mourned.
Mzae’s children are now appealing for financial assistance to give their father a dignified send-off.
Josephine Kanini recounted how he struggled with chest problems and often complained of feeling unwell.

“Before last Sunday, I received a call informing me that he was suffering. He told me he had gone home feeling overwhelmed. When I went to check on him, I found him dead,” she recalled.
She added that heavy rain prevented them from accessing his house at the time.
“We are poor; most of us are unemployed. If people could help us give him a decent send-off. He was a very kind man, loved by many. He never had any issues with anyone. My dad was a good parent to us,” she added.
Manzi wa Kibera met Mzae’s daughter, son, and grandchild for the first time while pleading for assistance to bury him.
“We have come to terms with his death. We will be okay.”
Due to land disputes in his rural home, the family plans to bury him at Langata Cemetery.
