Ivan’s ex and the mother of his three children Zarinah Tlale who is now in a relationship with Tanzanian superstar Diamond Platnumz is in deep sorrow after the death of her ex-husband Ivan Ssemwanga.
“God loves those that are special and that’s exactly who you were & I guess that’s why he wanted you to himself. You have touched and helped thousands, you did wonders and I remember you telling me “life is too short Zee let me live it to the fullest”, this very dark hour it makes sense why you always said those words to me. To your sons, you were a hero-some kind of superman. Anyone who has ever been in your presence knows what a charming person you were. You will be missed and remembered in so many ways. You were IVAN THE GREAT!” She posted on Facebook.
Ivan ran several technical colleges in South Africa and will be remembered in Uganda for his flashy lifestyle with a fleet of sleek cars bearing personalised plates and open bars in top hangouts on top of helping disadvantaged people by handing them hard cash.
