<h3>Mercy Mawia's last social media message moves fans</h3>

Mawia’s last social media post has deeply touched her fans and the wider community. Just days before her passing, she shared a message on Facebook that has resonated with many.

In her post, she included a short video of a dress she had purchased for the wedding of gospel singer Fortune Mwikali, an event she was unable to attend due to her illness.

In the video, Mawia expressed her excitement and anticipation for the wedding, lamenting her inability to attend.

“But who is Satan? I became sick to the extent that I can’t come to Safari Park and am here in Nairobi,” she wrote.

“Fortune Mwikali Princess, when I recover, I will come so that you can dress in your gown and we can take a photo. Stephen Kasolo, my Kilalais. We really organized the event; please share a good video with me so that I can post it. What a wedding! I still can’t believe that I missed it. Satan, you are a hyena. Pray for me. I am not okay,” she continued.

Mawia’s message and the dress she never got to wear have left a lasting impact on those who knew and admired her.
