Following the death of the father of her sons, hundreds of people across the continent have joined Zari Hassan in the mourning Ivan Ssemwanga.
Ssemwanga was neither an artiste, athlete, magician, politician, social media activist nor Pastor but his death has been recognised all over the continent.
Of the thousands of tributes and condolence messages, we bring you a few from public figures ranging from TV presenters to musicians.
“R.I.P. my friend. Those of us that knew the real you know how loving you were to everybody even when you didn’t know them. Hope and pray your kids will be loved back the way you did in this world. Hope Heaven receives you wth warm hands…Will forever miss bro,” MC Kats, a presenter with NBS, wrote.
