Domestic Violence: Popular Tanzanian Singer Zamzam Allegedly Beaten to Death by her Husband
Last week, a popular Tanzanian singer, Kijakazi Pazi Shaban, best known by her stage name Zamzam, died after she was allegedly brutally beaten by her husband, a police officer named Hamad Ally.
Shaban, who was once a member of Kidedea Music Group, passed away at her home in Musoma. Ally then took his wife’s corpse to a morgue in Temeke, Dar es Salaam after she died from her injuries.
According to reports from edaily.co.ke:
”Sad news about Zamzam’s death reached us, and we were informed that she died as a result of stomach ulcers. Her husband then said he would bury her in Kilimanjaro area. But as family, we had to know why, and when.
Zamzam had in the past sent gory photos of her deformed, wounded face to friends, saying she had been cruelly beaten by her husband – and that if anything would happen to her, then her her husband should be held accountable,” a source told the country’s newspaper Amani.
Zamzam’s family asked the husband to allow them see their relative’s body before he could bury her in Kilimanjaro, of which he agreed. Postmortem performed at a Temeke hospital on Zamzam’s body revealed that the singer succumbed to her injuries following a beating.
Zamzam’s husband, Hamad Ally, was arrested and is being held at Chang’ombe police station as investigations continue.
Hamad had, after allegedly beating his wife to death, requested his boss Ramadhan Ng’anzi for a van to “take his ailing wife to hospital.”The police boss now says he was unaware that Hamad had killed his wife, and only thought he was doing him a favour by giving him the van to rush his sickly wife to hospital.”

Lord have mercy………This is sad
May her soul RIP
Wickedness in high places. When will women (Africans especially) learn to leave abusive men? When? Now see how she has died for nothing. May her soul RIP. Amen.
and she still stayed in his house and kept on wt d demon…now she is dead.mtcheeew.rip
She was probably afraid of what the society will think if she walked away from her marriage or was praying for him to change. Hmmm when will women learn from others?
I believe he deliberately killed her..
evil man
The woman wanted to be killed deliberately, because why endure domestic violence just to stay married and look good. At the end the woman ends up in the grave and the husband moves on. She even predicted her own murder.
This is so insane, what the heck is going on?
