Steven Kanumba's death shakes Tanzania (Photos)

News paper clippings sent to me from Tanzania. The nation is mourning the tragic death of such a talented, vibrant and young actor. But please, can anyone translate to English for us. Meanwhile continue to see photos of him after the fall...*viewer's discretion advised*

first paperp below :Lului is saying she wants to get out of the police station so she can go burry her lover.. 2nd paper The newspaper is saying Its too much of a big funeral, too many people, hence 'kufuru' like overdone o something like that..

Anonymous said...

The headline on the left means 'Kanumba's funeral is total disbelief'.That's the translation. I can't be able to read the rest,it's too small for my eyesight.

I surely sympathize with the entire family and may his soul rest in peace.

Na wa, is Tanzania that backward that they wheel corpses out uncovered?

Swahili gal said...

"Kanumba's funeral is going to be a total disbelief" thats the second headline and top inset says "lulu has a heavy cross to bear" all on the second paper
bottom end first paper lulu says "release me from prison to go and bury my lover" Both papers at the top says "special edition highlighting kanumbas death"

RIP Steven, i dnt think she did this on purpose, it look like an accident, i feel so bad for her and his family, I pray God give them strength, and i pray that the people of Tanzania temper Justice with Mercy on her.

Wow he was such a great MAN all the government officials were there including the president of Tanzania he was really a national icon...some of the roads towards his place are closed due to a lot of people he should have known he was loved like this.....Lulu is innocent it was just an argument like lovers do...he pushed him and kanumba knocked himself ...she was so. Confused she went out ot the room naked to call kanumbas younger brother....he called the doctor..lulu left kanumbas residence half naked..he is now at the police station crying for them to let burry his lover.

Anna Fani said...

This story is puzzling. How badly did she push him that it was enough to kill him? Did she push him down stairs or he fell and hit his head against the edge of a table or sofa? Perhaps he already had an enlarged blood vessel in his head which was ruptured when she pushed him. Please note I'm not a doctor o. This is all conjecture on my part.

The translation of the word in the first newspaper is 'na so world dey?' while the translation in the second newspaper is 'but women wicked shaaa'.

RIP my man. The lesson here is (if the gist is true) that we should all respect our partners privacy and stop nosing around. Same shit happened btw Rihanna and Chris Brown. Leave her fone alone. If u feel she is running things, checking her fone wont stop her.

Come off it Laila, represent the Ikeji name well. Haba, commonsense indicates you track the story here on the blog or at best do what is expected of any Internet savy person which of course you are probably not or else you would have simply googled the story. Who you expect to start typing out explainations. Abegi!

Rily fond of him.will highly miss him.may his soul rest in peace

Is he really dead? that is sooo sad. What a waste of both lives. Several lesson learned here. Stop fornicating or commiting adultry, jealousy will lead you no where, control your anger at all times and the biggest lesson learned here is DO NOT PUT YOUR HANDS ON ANYONE ever...Look at how a possibly innocent arguement turned to murder and getting locked up. When I say innocent I mean she probably did not mean to kill him. She just didnt want to get caught creeping on him...just sad

ABEG make una leave laila alone na.Lindo na una baby be that one?Kid sisters are sooooo cute.:)And voltrons,I have a kid sister so allow me!!

Anyway to the matter on ground,may he rest in peace.He probably suffered from 1)severe head injury 2)subarachnoid or extradural haemorrhage.A subarachnoid bleed will cause him to suffer herniation and death.An extradural haemorrhage will cause respiratory arrest and death.Either way all this na science.He was just too young to die.

She didn't intend to kill him but she may be responsible for his deth.That na manslaughter o.If she actually pushed him then she go jejeli do her penance for jail.He however may have slipped by himself,hit his head and died.Whichever way it is a really sorry and sad case.

Spare a thought or his family and friends.They need our prayers in this trying time of grief.

Pls how do they wheel them out here in 9ja; that's if they even wheel them out?

Why do people sending you a dead body picture?. The man is not buried yet, i do not think is this is fair to him or his family.
