Manzi wa Kibera skips Sammy Ndunda's burial
Ndunda was laid to rest at Lang'ata Cemetery, with Manzi wa Kibera skipping the somber event.
The socialite clarified that she missed the burial as the deceased’s family wanted a private affair attended only by close family members and a select few relatives.
"I just want to inform you that Mzee Nzuki was buried today at Lang'at Cemetery. There was no media presence because the family didn't want media attention. They just wanted to give him a decent sendoff off cameras.
