She died at about 10 p.m. Ugandan time.
One of Karim’s sons, Mr Rahim Hirji, told The Monitor
yesterday that Ziba was first hospitalised
in South Africa
last November. She was later moved to London
in December.
Rahim is the director of Ddembe
FM.
He said his
father was in London
attending his wife by the time she died.
He said burial
arrangements are yet to be finalised. The body is
expected here tomorrow.
Several Kampala
business people and family members gathered at Karim’s
home in Kololo yesterday.
“He [Karim] has been with her until her death, and he even put
aside his business interests and even his wealth,” a relative of the
wife said. Family members said Ziba was in her
mid-40s.
She is
survived by six children
