WCB boss and singer Diamond Platnumz has led Tanzanian artists in mourning the death of Tanzania’s National Arts Council (BASATA) Secretary General, Mr. Godfrey Mngereza.
This came shortly after several media outlets in Tanzania reported that Mr. Mngereza had passed on, but the cause of death is still unknown.
In his message, Chibu said he was short of words to write on Godfrey Mngereza’s death, noting that a few days ago he went to support the Wasafi team as they did a tour in Arusha.
“Dah Nakosa ata cha Kuandika.... Mkuu si juzi tu tulikuwa Arusha ulikuja kutuunga Mkono kwenye Tour yetu ya Tumewasha na Tigo, leo hii umetangulia....Dah! Inshaallah Mwenyez Mungu akulaze Mahali pema Peponi Amin🙏🏼,” wrote Diamond Platnumz.
Rapper Mwana FA who recently got elected into parliament also said, “Nakosa la kusema ndugu yangu Mngereza.💔 Mbele yako nyuma yetu mzee wangu. Ukapumzike kwa amani.”
Here’s how other Tanzanian artistes mourned the BASATA boss.
