Alikiba’s father mzee Saleh Kiba died yesterday while receiving treatment at Muhimbili National Hospital in Dar es Salaam.
Mzee Kiba was buried on Thursday, January 17, afternoon at Kisutu cemetery just hours after he passed on and hundreds showed up at the event.
Burial arrangement
Alikiba’s younger brother Abdu Kiba told Global Publishers that his late father will be buried in the evening according to Muslim tradition.
Abdu revealed that his father’s body had already been moved to their home in Kariakoo in preparation for the burial. The deceased will be laid to rest at Kisutu Muslim cemetery at around 4pm.
Singer Alikiba rubbed his fans the wrong way while mourning Tanzanian actress Muna Love’s son Patrick Peters who passed away in Nairobi while undergoing treatment at a Nairobi Hospital.
Alikiba, a father of three, sent a message saying that it’s sad the 7-year-old boy had to die but fans were quick to criticize his move, claiming that he once said his region doesn’t allow him to mourn the dead.
Why now?

This past weekend Tanzanian artist Alikiba was in the country to join the NASA team in celebrating after the Supreme Court ruled in their favor nullifying President Uhuru Kenyatta’s re-election.
For this reason Raila Odinga and Mombasa Governor Hassan Joho apparently sent the seduce me hitmaker a private jet to pick him from Tanzanian as they wanted him to perform his songs at their low key party.
The news was however shared later by a close source to the singer who told a Tanzanian newspaper:
“Kenya’s opposition appreciates Kiba’s support. The Nasa outfit believes Kiba contributed immensely in their campaigns before the August 8th general election. They sent a private jet, which picked him late Friday.”
To verify whether this was true Ali Kiba’s manager, Aidan Seif, also confirmed that indeed the NASA leader had sent for the singer.
