Zari writes message to fans after her mother’s burial

Zari Hassan’s mother Halima Hassan was finally buried in central Uganda on Friday July 22nd. The deceased passed on at Nakasero hospital on Thursday morning.

Zari’s mother was buried in accordance with Islamic tradition that demands that the deceased should be laid to rest within 24 hours of death.

Ms. Halima Hassan was 58 years old at the time of her death, she is survived by eight children – seven of them still alive.

Diamond Platnumz was among mourners who attended the burial of Zari’s mother which was held in Kalama, central Uganda.

Zari expressed her gratitude to everyone who was with her and her family during the burial period, she penned a heartfelt message to her fans on social media.

“My family and I would like to extend our gratitude towards everyone who has been here during this trying time after the passing on of our beloved Mother Ms Halima Hassan. May you be blessed more by the Almighty for your kind hearts. Thank you? Sleep well mama?, till we meet again?” Zari wrote.

Mama Zari, Halima Hassan was laid to rest this past weekend after passing on 4 days ago as revealed on social media by Zari Hassan.

The socialites late mother had apparently been struggling with some heart issues that later on overpowered her leading to her untimely death.

She was however laid to rest on Saturday – something that left many muslims shocked as they took about 4 days before burying the body which is not acceptable with the Islam laws.

Anyway, Zari and her siblings were joined by close family, friends and Diamond Platnumz’s family who came to console them. Judging from the photos, this time around the children were not involved and I am assuming this was to protect them from the trauma of losing their favorite grandmother.

Below are a few of the photos that have been making rounds on social media.

Zari Hassan leaves tongues wagging after posting a photo spending time with her late husband

It has not only been hard for Ivan Ssemwanga’s family but also for his ex wife Zari Hassan and his sons. Since his departure, things have not been the same for Zari who is now proving the father of her three older boys.

This past weekend the mother of 5 shared a photo sitting on her late husband’s grave and from her caption it is no secret that the two had a strong connection that cannot be changed by death.

Zari wrote expressing how she had missed Ivan’s and since it had been a while since she passed by to check up on him…this past weekend just sounded perfect for her. She wrote saying;

Bin a minute bro, passed by to see how you keeping. Gone but not forgotten.

Fans on the other hand could not hold back from asking whether she was regretting having left Ivan for Diamond Platnumz who has lately been making headlines for all the wrong reasons? Well, we have no idea but you can checkout Zari’s post below;

“I need prayers for my mum” cries out Zari Hassan

A few weeks ago Zari Hassan revealed that her mum had been hospitalized following a short illness. However, the businesswoman cum socialite did not get into details to reveal what her mum was suffering from.

Anyway, just when we thought things were getting better for their family, Zari Hassan has come out for the second time pleading fans to pray for her mum who seems to be in a bad condition – judging from the emotional post she shared on her Instagram page.

The mum of five wrote saying,

I can’t explain it…but all I can request for is prayers for my mother. It is a very difficult time for my family

We are however not sure what could be the problem as the Ugandan socialite has been keeping her family’s life on the low since the death of her ex husband, Ivan Ssemwanga.

More details to follow up about Zari’s mum’s health.

Zari hospitalized a few days after her mother was also admitted to popular hospital

It is not quite clear what is happening around Zari’s family but what we are certain of is that she was rushed to hospital yesterday after falling ill as revealed by several online news outlets.

Well, the mother of 5 is seen laying on a hospital bed as she receives some IV Fluid probably dehydration and exhaustion. Her condition has however left fans questioning whether this is another move just to keep social media a users talking, but we cannot confirm this.

 

Anyway, looking at her social media pages you will notice that she has not been active as usual , meaning that she might actually be ill. While other fans continue to call her out for the ‘stunt’ most are assuming that she is expecting another child – which is somehow impossible for now since her son is barely 1 year.

Ivan Ssemwanga’s sons celebrate him on Father’s Day with heartwarming messages that will leave you feeling the pain of losing a parent

It is now a few since Ivan Ssemwanga was laid to rest and his sons still remember each and every memory they shared with their father.

We saw this during his funeral service when his son stood to eulogize his dad in a moving message that left many in tears.

Anyway, the boys still hold on to their father’s memory and for this same reason they joined the world to celebrate him on Fathers Day with moving messages that clearly show how much they love their dad even though he is no longer with them.

His eldest son Pinto wrote saying,

Happy Father’s Day. Miss you.

 

While Raphael wrote to say,

You may be gone but you’ll forever be our dad. Happy Father’s Day.

The last born son wrote the following message that has left his social media followers feeling his pain for losing his daddy at such a young age.

“Wishing my father a happy Father’s Day in heaven. Dear dad, although you are no longer with me, I just wanted you to know how much I loved you when I was lucky enough to have you in my life. I want you to know that even if you are no longer here I still think about you and will forever love you?. On this special day, dear angels please guard him with gentle wings and tend him with special care for he was someone wonderful and words cannot justify how much we wish that he was here once more with us today.”

Zari’s special message to Diamond after breakup rumors

A week ago Diamond and his wife had friction after Zari was seen in a pool with Edwin Lutaaya who turned out to be Ivan Ssemwanga’s cousin.

Diamond complained about the incident on social media leading to speculations that he was breaking up with his baby mama.

The ‘Marry You’ hit maker however rubbished separation rumors when he shared a clip of Zari and him having a nice time in South Africa.

Yesterday Sunday June 18th was Father’s Day and Zari was quick to send Diamond a beautiful message recognizing his contribution in her life and that of their kids.

The message confirmed Zari and her husband are still tight despite what happened a week a good; in the message Zari asked God to keep Diamond safe for their family.

“Happy fathers’ day Le Hubby, may the Good God keep you safe for us. We appreciate all your efforts.? @diamondplatnumz” Wrote Zari.

 

“I didn’t touch Zari’s bums” Edwin Lutaaya man who almost broke Diamond’s marriage apologizes

Diamond was quick to complain after seeing a photo of Zari Hassan and Edwin Lutaaya enjoying a nice time in a swim spa. The photo was the genesis of Diamond and Zari’s breakup rumors.

Zari was quick to explain that Edwin Lutaaya was Ivan’s cousin and that the photo was taken by his wife who was also in the swim spa with them.

Diamond later on downplayed separation rumors by posting photos of Zari and him enjoying a nice time in South Africa.

Edwin Lutaaya has also stepped forth to set the record straight; in a telephone interview with Kakensa Media, Edwin denied ever touching Zari’s bums as claimed by some blogs.

Edwin Lutaaya

Speaking in both Luganda and English, Edwin apologized to Diamond saying that he had no interest in her and that there was no way he could have touched Zari because his wife and kids were also in the swim spa.

“This goes out to Diamond, I know you can’t hear much of Luganda… I never meant to offend you neither did I touch Zari’s bums, you misquoted the whole situation. That picture was taken with decency, we never even took any closure next to each other. Deep down in my heart I don’t have any intentions of hitting or proposing to my in-law (Zari), in our custom it doesn’t allow that. And I want to make it very clear this this moment… please I respect your family and I respect your relationship with Zari. I can never come in between us or anyone in our family, I will never come between you,” Edwin Lutaaya said.

 

Diamond Platnumz dumps Zari Hassan

If you thought Diamond Platnumz post claiming that he was single was a joke then you are in for a big surprise. The Wasafi Records CEO is done and tired of having Zari Hassan on his side and if I am not wrong then he just dumped her through his social media pages.

For the very first time the singer went ham in a post that has left many wondering what really went on between him and the mother of his two baby’s. The photo he posted on his Instagram one is able to see Zari Hassan in the pool with some other fella who has been identified as Williams Bugeme and since Diamond could not handle it, he went on to fire shots like any hurt and bitter man.

He wrote saying;

“That’s why sometimes I see its best I eat and run,because they’re are never worth the sacrifice and appreciation and they can’t be trusted” when translated to English.

So does this mean that the empire they were building has finally crashed? Well, as you think about that…I am sure his DM is currently receiving messages from all socialites looking to replace Zari.

Some few minutes later Zari responded by saying;

“I never slept with Zari’s man when she was with him” Huddah finally speaks out, but what does she mean?

Huddah has given her fans something to talk about after she came out claiming that she never slept with Diamond Platnumz as many believe.

The business lady cum socialite revealed this through her Instagram stories where she went on to say that she never sleeps with married men. Before all this she started by joking about how restless married men get after having sleeping out with their side chicks simply because they are worried about getting back home to their wives.

This was followed by her confession where she came out clean claiming that of all men she had been with Diamond Platnumz is not one of them. Her statement however left me questioning what she really meant as she wrote saying… “Even allegations that I slept with Zari’s man when she was with him are all lies”….so what does it mean? Did she sleep with him when he had not met Zari or what?

Anyway checkout her posts below;

Here is her confession;

Is Diamond Platnumz mum taking shots at Zari’s youngest son for having ‘old man’s skin’ (Photo)

Kendrah Micheal is happy to have Tiffah and Nillan aka Lanny Dangote as her grandchildren and just like any proud grandmother she cannot help but flaunt them on her social Media pages once in a while.

Before Lanny was born Kendrah’s favorite grandchild was Tiffah but she now seems to love them equally. However, I cannot say this about her daughter in law, Zari Hassan who happens to be stuck on kendrah’s bad side. From the rumors making rounds on social
Media these two women still have bad blood and this might not change anytime soon.

Anyway…Diamond Platnumz mum has left many wondering what she meant by captioning baby Lanny’s photo using an old mans emoji on Instagram. From the photo she uploaded it is a bit obvious to see the young boy sort of looked like an old man – however this is something common with baby’s especially new borns who take longer to arrive.

Fans on the other hand however felt like Kendrah was taking shots at Zari for having given birth to a baby who looks old due to her age….but this one I will have to disagree with since Lanny is still growing and pretty much soon he will take after his other three brothers.

Zari leaves Uganda after committee allowed her to stay in Ivan Ssemwanga’s house in South Africa

A committee of four members was formed to determine how the late Ivan Ssemwanga’s assets will be managed. Zari left Uganda after the committed gave her one of Ivan’s houses in South Africa.

Apparently Ivan didn’t have a will by the time he passed on, this is why a committee was formed to determine how his assets will be managed.

The committee comprised of Ritah Ssemwanga (Ivan’s sister), George Ssemwanga Pinto (Ivan’s elder brother), Lawrence Kiyingi Muyanja aka King Lawrence (Ivan’s best friend and now the presumptive leader of Rich Gang) and Zari Hassan.

They also decided that Zari should live with the kids in one of Ivan’s houses in South Africa while the other house should be rented out to provide financial support to the family.​ The committee will execute its duties until Ivan’s three children turn 18.

Did Diamond Platnumz publicly declare he is single? (Photo)

Things continue to change between Diamond Platnumz and his baby mama Zari Hassan now that she is managing her late husband’s property worth millions.

At first it all started as s joke that Zari and Diamond Platnumz were not talking. The online community quickly jumped in to see what was going on between Diamond Platnumz and his woman.

Luckily the Tanzanian singer could not contain himself after getting in his feelings that somehow contributed to his ‘relationship’ quotes that clearly proved that things between him and Zari were not okay.

Anyway just before he declared that he was single….Diamond Platnumz shared a photo with his mum and captioned it in a way that showed that his mum was the only real woman in his life sparking rumors that Zari had dumped him now that she is weather.

Well, the singer is said to have confirmed that he finally single through a Facebook page leaving fans wondering what was really going on. Not quite sure as to how legit the post is but you can check it out below;

The death of Ivan was a tormenting experience for Zari, she was forced to fend off opportunists who were eager to get their hands on Ivan’s property while at the same time she was struggling with grief.

Whoever said time heals all wounds was right, Zari has since recovered from the painful experience. She took to the social media to reveal that she had gotten over the death of Ivan.

Trouble in paradise; Is Diamond Platnumz taking shots at his baby mama in his latest photo?

Fans have started talking on social media and word has it that Diamond Platnumz and his baby mama Zari Hassan have not been getting along.

This all started when Ivan Don, Zari’s first husband passed away in South Africa and when his body was brought back to Uganda Diamond Platnumz did not attend the funeral leaving many wondering whether he was really there for his baby mama and her 3 sons.

Since then Zari has been in East Africa for about a week and she has not been spotted with Diamond Platnumz. Apparently the two have not met and if indeed their is trouble between the two then Diamond Platnumz has confirmed it on his latest post where he wrote saying that his mum is the only ‘real’ woman in his life.

In an interview with Millard Ayo TV, Zari said Vera had always contacted her to check on her throughout the entire period.

“Nimeona Vera Sidika was attacked ‘you didn’t even support Zari’ but she has been reaching out to me. Nimekuta a lot of her WhatsApp ‘Hi Zari how you, yani what’s going on I can’t get you. Sio lazima aende social media” Zari Said.

She also rubbished claims that Ivan was poisoned, Zari made it clear that Ivan died because of the stroke he suffered which ruptured veins in his head resulting to blood flowing in his brain.

“Ivan was never poison, Ivan alikua na high blood pressure na hajawai kupima na if alipima he’s never taken it serious that he needs to take his medication. So what happened alipata stroke, vile alipata stroke high blood pia ikapanda. Now during the stroke akawa paralyzed one side of the body which is the left. And during the stroke venye imempiga, imempiga vibaya akapasuka vein in his head…in his brain…mshipa right? That thing in the head ikamwaga damu in his brain so daktari wakaniambia most of the patients like him, 80% of those patients like they die immediately. Wakaniambia 20% wenye wamebaki usually they die within a month and the other 10% hao…if they come back, if they make it wanakua fully dependent yani kumvalisha pampers, kumogesha, kumkulisha and things like that.

“So nkamuuliza ‘doctor what’s going on with my patient I wanna know’ akaniambia ‘look we are only trying to see what we can…wakamfanya operation to reduce the pressure on the brain ya ile damu lakini the operation also wasn’t successful because during the operation pressure ilikua inapanda inashuka inapanda inashuka and then also during the same operation he over bled so they didn’t continue with the operation because he was going die immediately, wakamrudisha in the ward to try stabilize him so that they can see if they can perform a second operation. So during that time when they were supposed to go back hali yake ikawa it’s just getting down and then towards the last day wakanipigia simu ‘look it’s not good you need to come and say goodbye because tumeona blood pressure kwanza ilipanda sana 220, normal blood is about 120/125. Ivan alikua 220 ilikua so bad ikakataa, sasa vile imeshuka ikashuka to 36 which was really bad. So wakatuambia come and say goodbyes tukasema our goodbyes tukarudi nyumbani because that day imepita nothing happened. Usiku around 2 o’clock on am…was it Tuesday or Wednesday 2am wakanipigia simu your patient has passed on, lakini during the day they had already told us that he’s on the process of passing on, wakatuambia no more visitors let him pass on, let his soul go in peace. It’s not poison, amekufa kwasababu of a stroke which ruptured vein in his brain coz a lot of bleeding, it was bad.” Zari explained.

Diamond’s wife also denied claims that Ivan had fathered a child out of wedlock, she explained that the said child was actually fathered by Ivan’s brother who died during a robbery at Ivan’s house in Kampala. Zari said they adopted the kid after the incident.

“Ivan amekuwa na watoto watatu, he had three boy and that’s it, the whole world knows.  The kid they are talking about in question…way back, tulipata wajambazi when I was still with him and then they came home ah hmmm…. Until today I don’t know what they wanted. So as we were driving they came in with arsenal wakatuambia ‘give me the handbag, where is the safe’ nini nini…and then I said there is no money kila kitu. So Ivan was in town nika negotiate nao sana sana. So during the negotiation kakake Ivan he was a little bid mentally kidogo tu disturbed sio sana but you know saa zingine ziko and then… so when he came out of the house, nlikua nje nimesimama bila kuingua ndani ya nyumba but we were already inside the yard. So ye alikua ndani so when he heard the whole misunderstanding outside he came out to stab one of the guys, he shot him, he died. So Brian alikua na huyu mtoto Winny. And Winny was I think six or eight months… So Ivan said your father died because he was saving my family am going to adopt you and make you my own child. I will take care of you na kila kitu. So that’s Ivan’s brother’s kid. But we adopted her and take care of her, until today she calls me her mom. So it’s not like kuna mtoto nini, no no no!” Zari explained.

Zari seeks solace in a top Ugandan male socialite whom she spent a night with (Photos)

Zari Hassan hasn’t returned home in Dar es Salaam to be with her husband, she was seen having a good time with a male socialite.

Uganda top socialite and fashionista William Bugeme popularly known as Boss Mutoto has offered Zari Hassan a shoulder to lean on.

Zari Hassan, who is still grieving her ex husband’s death, hasn’t travelled back to Tanzania to be with her husband Diamond Platnumz.

Mama Tiffah is staying at her home in Uganda where people are still streaming in to console her. Boss Mutoto is among the few people who spent a night with Zari to offer her solace.

Zari and the popular Uganda socialite who is a member of The Money Team (TMT)- a rival gang to Ivan’s Rich Gang, spent the night eating sausages and offering each other comfort on the couch.

“I can’t eat sausage it late Williams … just one ?… And she said yes ?.@zarithebosslady ##BossMutoto #TMT #TBE” Boss Mutoto captioned a photo of Zari eating barbecued sausage he had prepared.

 

“My Mayweather I appreciate you?@williamsbugeme” Zari also captioned a photo of Boss Mutoto and her relaxing on the couch.

The two – Zari and Boss Mutoto were also tight during the entire time that preceded Ivan’s burial.

Diamond Platnumz manager reveals the main reason the artist did not travel to be with Zari in Uganda

There are different stories making rounds on social media claiming that Diamond Platnumz and his baby mama are not in good terms with his baby mama.

This came after the singer failed to attend Ivan’s funeral in Uganda a few days after he confirmed that he would be present to support the boys and Zari.

Well, Salaam who happens to be Diamond Platnumz manager has come fourth to reveal that the reason they could not avail themselves for funeral is simply because at the time Zari’s family had already moved to the village where Ivan was to be buried. This made it hard for them to travel as Diamond had a few businesses he was to attend to and having gone to the village would have affected his plans.

Anyway listen to the audio below:

“You might not be physically here but you will forever be remembered” Zari Hassan beautiful message to her late husband

It’s not everyday you find women wishing their exes the best. In fact, most wish death on them (sooo true) but Zari Hassan is proving to be different. From her posts one can clearly see her wishing that Ivan wouldn’t have left them so soon.

Despite having separated, she was still close to him for the sake of their sons and their friendship that began even before they became man and wife. Now that Ivan’s body was buried and is now in a better place…Zari Hassan shared a photo showing the shrine she made for him at her house to pray and remember him.

She wrote saying,

“Death robbed you from us but I strongly believe you are in a better place now that you are with God. Your physical presence will be missed but you will forever be remembered. Till we meet again, Rest in internal peace Ivan the Don.”

Her sons have also been doing the same but their fathers death came at a time when they did not expect it!

“You won’t attack Diamond Platnumz who was performing in Kenya but you attack me?” Vera Sidika goes ham on fans after accusing her of being a fake friend to Zari Hassan

Vera Sidika was among the first friends who reached out to Zari Hassan after her ex husband, the late Ivan Don passed on. She went ahead to post a message comforting the mother of 5 and her sons through her Instagram page.

However, most fans think that she did not do what a true friend would have done. According to her she has been receiving messages on her IG and snapchat from fans who claim that she was not there when Zari Hassan needed her the most.

According to them she did not make an effort of going to Uganda for the funeral like most of Zari’s friends did. But, Vera says that she did not need to be there physically to show her support. She went on to add that she was communicating with Zari the whole time and for this reason people should stop calling her names as they do not understand what was going on.

She however fired her guns after hinting that these fans should have been questioning Diamond Platnumz for now being there for his wife and not her since their level of friendship cannot be compared to what Zari and Diamond Platnumz share:

Vera Sidika revealed this through her Instagram stories and you can see her posts below:

Zari’s remarks during Ivan Ssemwanga’s requiem mass proves she’s an iron lady

Zari Hassan is being fought left right and center by Ivan Ssemwanga’s family. But Diamond’s wife is an iron lady who doesn’t cow to intimidations.

Zari’s woes with her ex husband’s family and close friends started in South Africa a few days before the fallen tycoon passed on.

Well, Zari remarks during Ivan Ssemwanga’s requiem mass proved she’s an iron lady – the church service was held at Namirembe Cathedral on Monday.

Zari stated that she was strong despite everything that was thrown on her path. She made it clear that her mother single-handedly raised her to be a strong woman and that she will do the same with her kids.

“My mother raised me single-handedly and taught me to be strong. I will do the right thing for him (Ivan) and the boys.” Zari said.

Ivan body was transported to his ancestral home in Kayunga after the requiem mass, he will be buried today May 30th.

Ivan’s family blames Zari Hassan for their sons death and demand DNA for her 3 sons

Things keep getting hard for Zari Hassan as Ivan’s family and relatives have been giving her a hard time now that they blame her for their sons death.

Herbert Luyinda who is Ivan’s uncle and the one acting like their father right now claims that Zari is to blame for the death of Ivan as she put him through a lot since she walked out on him. Speaking to a popular Ugandan tabloid, Herbert says that Ivan always opened up to him about the troubles he was facing now that Zari had moved on with Tanzanian singer Diamond Platnumz. He said,

“As a family, we have no doubt that Zari is the cause of Ivan’s suffering that led him to die. Ever since the two separated, Ivan has never been the same. Our son loved that woman so much. He took care of her in all situations but Zari with her bad manners decided to dump him for Diamond. This disorganised him so much. He started developing hardships in his heath”

In other news, now the family demands a DNA of Zari’s three sons just to be sure that they are Ivan’s biological kids. From the videos making rounds on social media, Ivan’s friends and family are seen sideling Zari and her sons while at the funeral service held in South Africa.

Zari Hassan breaks down during the late Ivan’s funeral service in South Africa

It has been tough for Zari, her sons and family at large to accept that Ivan Ssemwanga is gone. This has clearly been seen in the videos and photos making rounds on social media from the funeral service held in South Africa on Saturday hours before his body was moved to Uganda where he will be laid to rest tomorrow.

For those who did not think that Ivan Don’s death would affect Zari then they were wrong. Zari was spotted breaking down helplessly during the funeral service and despite having her friends with her, the mother of 5 could not hold back her tears.

The memories, laughter, tears and times she shared with her late ex husband always kept them close when he was still alive. They coparented in ways no one understood and seeing her break down was enough proof to show that they still had some connection.

Below are a few photos and a video clip showing the lass tear down as she said her goodbyes to her late friend and father of her 3 boys.

Beautiful photos from the late Ivan Don and Zari Hassan’s simple wedding

A lot has been said about Zari especially now that her ex husband passed on this past Tuesday and confirmed the news on Thursday after she publicly announced that he was no more.

There are fans who have been encouraging her while others have been criticizing her for leaving the fella only to fight for his property when he is dead. However what many don’t know is that the late Ivan Don loved Zari Hassan until his last day on earth.

The two are said to have had a relationship that many could not understand simply because they had 3 sons together and as far as matters are concerned….Zari was his first love. A few years ago the two made their union official by holding a traditional wedding that many know nothing about. I however bumped into a few photos from the wedding and you can check them out below:

Shocking details of how Zari and Lawrence Kiyingi were thrown out of hospital for fighting over Ivan’s property days before he died

Ivan Ssemwanga’s best friend Lawrence Kiyingi aka King Lawrence and his ex wife Zari Hassan were locked in a fierce tussle over his property days before he passed on.

The brawl started after the two learnt that Ivan had negligible chance of surviving following the deterioration of his condition after suffering a stroke.

Ugandan news outlet Big Eye, who interviewed a close relative and friend of Ivan, reported that the deceased businessman could only produce hissing sounds during his last days on earth.

“He would smile at his hospital visitors, wink but no words came out except hissing sounds that had come to define his new language. “’Mmmmmmm mmm ooommmm ommmmm,’ that’s all I ever heard from Ivan when I visited him in hospital. No words, nothing. I remember being there when Zari visited, he held her hand, pressed it hard then went off in ‘mmmm oooo mmm’,” a close friend of Ivan was quoted by Big Eye.

Meanwhile King Lawrence, a member of Ivan’s Rich Gang crew, was busy combing Ivan’s house in South Africa in search of the Don’s financial documents, titles, and all keys to his wealth.

Lawrence faced off with Zari who accused him of wanting to reap from where he did not sow. Lawrence and Zari’s fight also happened in hospital a few days before the Ugandan businessman passed on.

“At one point, these fights reached hospital and the two together with other family members had to be thrown out of hospital for the peace and sanity of the sick person. Ivan saw these fights, read some on Facebook but he just could not reply to anything. Someone had to hold the phone for him. And he had no reply just the hissing sounds. Deep down, he must have felt betrayed, used and abandoned by those he considered his closest,” the source said.

Apparently Ivan died on Tuesday morning a few hours before Zari was called to bid her ex husband the final goodbye. Big Eye says that doctors told her that Ivan would die anytime since his organs had all failed.

After doctors pronounced Ivan Ssemwanga dead, Zari approached senior management at Steven Biko hospital in Pretoria and asked them not to tell others about the death of Ivan.

She explained that she needed time to get everything in order to prevent King Lawrence and other family members from taking her ex husband’s wealth which was supposed to be inherited by her three boys whom she sired with Ivan.

The hospital management gave her an extension of a day and today Wednesday May 25th Zari broke the sad news to the whole world.

Beautiful photos of the late Ivan Don spending time with his 3 sons and ex wife Zari Hassan

Before Zari Hassan got involved with Diamond Platnumz, to be honest we didn’t know much about the lass and her family. However, with time we learnt about her sons and her ex husband Ivan Don who was a socialite, businessman and a Ugandan tycoon.

Unfortunately Ivan Don as he is known is said to have passed on in the wee hours this morning leaving many shocked as we never saw it coming. The late dad of three boys apparently suffered a heart condition that left him lifeless a few days after being admitted to the ICU.

Though he is gone, I have a compiled a few photos of the guy spending some quality time with his ex wife and their sons when he was still alive. These are the times he looked happier compared to their photos we have come to see since he split with his ex wife.

If I am not wrong, Ivan Don never married again after Zari nor does he have any kids outside that we have heard of (yet). Anyway checkout the photos here.
