During Zari’s visit in Kenya alongside her major events, a fan presented Zari’s late mother’s portrait to the socialite which led her into tears upon seeing it.

One, Jonewa, a contemporary visual artist had planned to surprise Zari with the art for what he says more than an year now saying it took him a lot before he finally got to reach Zari upon her Manager’s invite.

“Zari is a woman of substance as you all know, she is an inspiration to all women out there,” Said Jonewa revealing out his struggles which he says he had to reach out to a South African Presenter, Lionell for his mission to be accomplished.

This event made Zari emotional due to the fact that the portrait was her mother’s as she had in the past shared beautiful photos and a special message upon her mother’s death.

Mrs. Halima Hassan, Zari’s mother, passed a few months after her ex-husband, Ivan Ssemwanga’s death. Zari mentioned that her daughter Tiffah is the exact replica of her mother.

The two seemed to have a special bond as the socialite had posted a special message when announcing her death.

“It’s with deep sorrow that my family and I announce the death of our lovely mother who passed on this morning, may her soul rest in peace, May Allah forgive you your sins and grant you jana, You will forever be loved our Old Sun, us as your kids were given the best from God as our mother. We appreciate all you did for us we will forever cherish you mama,” shared Zari.

Zari’s mother passed away while undergoing a treatment at Nakasero Hospital in Kampala where she had been hospitalized after suffering a heart attack.

The Socialite’s visit in the country was to unveil a mega mansion by Fine Urban and Construction Interiors, host an all-white party experience at XS Millionaires Club in Nairobi and also mentioned that she will embark on a charity mission after the party.
