A female Tanzanian musician reportedly died last week after she was
allegedly brutalized by her husband.
"Kijakazi Pazi Shaban, who was once a member of Kidedea music
group, and known by her stage name Zamzam, died at her home in Musoma.
Her husband, a police
officer, Hamad Ally took Shaban’s body to a morgue in Temeke, Dar es Salaam
after she succumbed to her injuries.
Sad news about Zamzam’s
death reached us, and we were informed that she died as a result of stomach
ulcers. Her husband then said he would bury her in Kilimanjaro area.
But as family, we had to
know why, and when. “Zamzam had in the past sent gory photos of her deformed,
wounded face to friends, saying she had been cruelly beaten by her husband, and
that if anything would happen to her, that her husband should be held
accountable, a source told the country’s newspaper Amani.
Zamzam’s family asked
the husband to allow them see their relative’s body before he could bury her in
Kilimanjaro, of which he agreed.
Postmortem performed at
a Temeke hospital on Zamzam’s body revealed that the singer succumbed to her
injuries following a beating.
Zamzam’s husband, Hamad
Ally, was arrested and is being held at Chang’ombe police station as
investigations continue.
Hamad had, after allegedly beaten his wife to death, requested his boss Ramadhan Ng’anzi for a van to “take his ailing wife to hospital.”
Hamad had, after allegedly beaten his wife to death, requested his boss Ramadhan Ng’anzi for a van to “take his ailing wife to hospital.”
The police boss now says
he was unaware that Hamad had killed his wife, and only thought he was doing
him a favour by giving him the van to rush his sickly wife to hospital.”
