Tanzania vice-president Mohammed Gharib Bilal and first lady Salma Kikwete led thousands of mourners during the funeral services of Big Brother and movie star Stephen Kanumba at the Kinondoni cemetery in Dar es Salaam on Thursday.
The funeral of Kanumba, who died on Saturday at his residence in Sinza, attracted people from all over the country and beyond borders.
Business came to a standstill as mourners were packed in vehicles and cycles.
The funeral organisers were forced to cut short the exercise of paying last respect as it would have taken longer than expected. —The Guardian
