Zari Hassan is honoring her late ex-husband and businessman, Ivan Semwanga. Together, they had three sons before parting ways. Ivan passed away at the age of 39 on May 25, 2017, while undergoing treatment at the Steve Biko Academic Hospital in Pretoria, South Africa.

In her Instagram message, Zari shared a photo of Semwanga, their three sons and herself and wrote;


"Seven years seems like yesterday. May Allah continue resting you in peace. We will always love you."

At that moment, Zari was entrusted with announcing Ivan's passing, a responsibility she fulfilled on her social media platforms.
