Tanzanian singer, Diamond Platnumz, joined his wife, Zari Hassan to mourn the death of her ex-husband and father of her first 3 children, Ivan Don Ssemwanga, 39, who died hours ago following a heart condition, at Steve Biko Hospital in Pretoria South Africa.

Zari and Diamond Platnumz have two kids together, Tiffah and Nillan.

 She shared a photo of him and wrote; “God loves those that are special and that’s exactly who you were & I guess that’s why he wanted you to himself. You have touched and helped thousands, you did wonders and I remember you telling me “life is too short let me live it to the fullest”, this very dark hour it makes sense why you always said those words to me. To your sons, you were a hero-some kind of superman. Anyone who has ever been in your presence knows what a charming person you were. You will be missed and remembered in so many ways. You were IVAN THE GREAT! Rest in peace DON”

Diamond Platnumz then joined her by posting a red lit candle in a black ground and wrote “Mbele yako, nyuma yetu, meaning. Where you are is where we are coming.”
