Manzi wa Kibera describes her ‘dating’ relationship with the late Sammy Ndunda called ‘Mzee’, claiming she had awful dreams the night before the old man died.
The 22-year-old told TNX.Africa that the previous day, she sent Sh500 to the old guy, her putative lover, via her uncle after learning that he had been ill for some time. During the exclusive interview, she revealed that she experienced terrible dreams that seemed to presage his death, only to wake up the next morning to the awful news that he had passed away.
“I couldn’t believe it at first, so I called my former manager to go confirm, as my uncle (the informer) had just emailed me a picture of Mzee laying motionless in the house. I contacted various bloggers who catered to my flight from Mombasa, where I had gone to have a break. “When I arrived at the mortuary, I didn’t cry because I was still in shock,” she added.
“Despite the social media portrayal (of Mzee bankrolling her), I used to financially support Mzee. “He relied on me for rent, food, and even general upkeep,” Manzi wa Kibera explained.
Asked how she had met him. Manzi wa Kibera explained that she was looking for a fresh character for her internet program when the old man was introduced to her. She said he had not been living with his family and that is why she opted to work with him – being a free man who required “refurbishing”
