Hours after tycoon Ivan Semwanga was reported dead, ex-lover Zari Hassan has claimed he is still alive.

Zari who is a mother to Semwanga’s three children revealed this to popular Facebook blogger, Henry Kakensa.

According to a chat between the two which The Tower Post has obtained a copy of, the tycoon-cum-socialite is still alive.

“I was the first one to be called and then I called everyone. We are all here,” wrote Zari.

Asked to confirm whether the money bag was dead, Zari said “Ivan isn’t dead.”

“Leave people Henry,” she added.
