FATHER'S | DAY | ZARI 

As the world celebrated Fathers’ Day, our very own Zari was penning an emotional letter to one of the fathers of her children, Ivan Ssemwanga (R.I.P).  

“Being a single parent is the hardest thing in the world, it is twice the work, twice the years, twice the love and stress but it has made me stronger than ever before,” read part the message she shared on her social media handles. 

Before his passing on in 2017, the two had briefly come back to Uganda, married and went back to South Africa where they had established businesses. 

From their union, they had three sons. 

They later broke up and Zari started dating Tanzanian singer Diamond Platinumz. 

“Since you left us Don Ivan, I have been able to raise our sons. Although you are no longer with us, I want you to know that we loved you so much when we were lucky to have you in our lives. I want you to know that although you are no longer with us, we love you and miss you so much, my lovely Don. May you keep resting in peace, my love,” read the other part of her letter.  

Notably, she did not post about Diamond Platinumz, who she once blamed for being a bad father.
