Several women faint at burial of Tanzanian actor, Steven Kanumba
He was buried today in his hometown. Thousands showed up. Many women fainted. Some had to be rushed to the hospital. So sad! May his soul continue to rest in perfect peace...amen. Continue to see more photos
So sad! but why did they bury him so fast? was an autopsy done? is the girlfriend still in police custody questions questions Tanzanians must have really loved him see turnout!!! my heart goes out to his Mum it is not easy to bury your child.RIP
Who is he? He must have made a massive impact on his country. But come o, Linda baby, are you sure it's because of him they are fainting? It could be heat. I see a man too. May his soul rest in peace. He is sha free.
This guy was a top actor in his country! Nobody is indispensable but The Tanzanian Movie Industry will never be the same without him. He used to be in almost all of them as I watched Africa Magic Plus. Made an appearance on Big Brother Africa in 2010 or so. RIP Steve Kanumba. You may be gone, but not forgotten
His mum shld nt ave gone there. Thot dat parents esp mothers r nt 2 attend their children burial. Discoverd dis wen ma mum passd on, ma grandma was nt allowd 2 attend. I pray dat God wil comfort his family esp his mum.
LINDa thanks for posting this we are touched...he was so much loved, he was humble, very down to earth, he was our Countrys pride because he represented us so well. nways we loved him but God loved him more. people were fainting because they were still in shock. his girlfriend is still with the police they will release her only after full investigation is completed. but meanwhile the first report says that he died due to 'Brain Concussion'which made him not to be able to breathe and they found out that his nails had turned blue and his brain had expanded and his kidneys were full of blood and looked like liver. so the investigation is still going to see if there was a possibility that he could have been poisoned(they took fluids from his eyes). so we are still waiting
Not so surprised the tanzanian press has been in a feeding frenzy since his death. He seemed to be quite an icon there. Whan can we say now? May his soul rest in peace.
i am still wondering why was he dating an 18 or 19 yr old when he can have any woman in Tanzania. That bi tches blow job must have been fantastic and mind "blowing" (literally)
His mum shld nt ave gone there. Thot dat parents esp mothers r nt 2 attend their children burial. Discoverd dis wen ma mum passd on, ma grandma was nt allowd 2 attend. I pray dat God wil comfort his family esp his mum.
I'm nigerian but I absolutely loved him! Watched africa magic plus mainly because of his! He was so young and handsome! Something was just so interesting about him! His soul will rest in peace!
This is soooo sad. May the Good lord give his mom and his family peace,that peace that passeth all understanding. And Ms Linda, since you are the news hound here,what really happened to this guy? Did he really die from a shove from his girlfriend or was poisined?Pls keep us posted.Thanx.
Kai,so no more Steve Kanumba in dis world.Continue to rest in peace & may God give his mum courage 2 move on & forgive the galfrend coz even if d gal is proven innocent she has alredy been mentioned.So sad
So Sad, & he was only 28yrs old. I watched a few of his movies on DSTV channel 115...sad!!! He also dis a movie with Richard of BBA & he was beta in acting! RIP!!!!
gosh i cant stop crying for d kind of love and emoltion being displayed here,he was really a good man and loved by all,hmmmm i feel for him rest in peace dear.
oh my God see crowd so someone can really be love by people to dis extent?wat a great loose dis should teach our nigerian stars a lesson how many of our actors and actress or politicians wil die but God 4bid and both poor,average and rich people wil cm out crowded like dis cry and faint dis way? ask urselfes mr and miss star,am really touched dis is pure love even in death.
am really moved by d love and crowed being displayed here,but even if those people fainted bcos of heat as some people said which is nt possible cos they were all outside but atleast all those crowed gathered bcos of him which is nt easy atall how many of our nigeria stars are loved by we nigerians dis way? when they are all after money and fame and dnt gv a fuck about there fans,shame.
Hmmmmmm may his gentle soul rest in perfect peace. such a sad thing to happen. its just somehow the way his mum was at the funeral. she shouldnt have been there at all......... Im jus not okay wif the women fainting. Is that how much they love the man?
Ah ah! See doctors without certificate in medicine! How do you know its the shock or the heat that made them faint? And you're saying it with great conviction! But wait first... what if it was his ghost that slapped them?
The fainting was out of disbelief! Currently we have 3 women who committed suicide because of his death. 2 confirmed dead and 1 survived. The girlfriend was introduced to movie industry in a tender age by him. So this death and the manner he died has a lot of questions in our hearts. May his soul rest in peace amen
