Ssemwanga gateman story: Zari serves the tea as Shakib opts for silence

In the past, there have been pictures of Lutaaya, who also goes by Cham, posing for photos with Hassan's baby daddy Ivan Don Sssemwanga.

When the pictures emerged, rumours swirled that Cham had worked as a gateman at Ssemwanga's residence. Both Ssemwanga and Cham worked in South Africa.

Speaking to the media on Thursday, Ssemwanga said: "Everyone is free to say what they want. You can't stop them.”

He continued: "I know the truth. She also knows the truth."

Then Hassan, alias Zari, chimed in: "We need to address this. I've seen [people saying] that Shakib used to be our gateman. He used to work for Ivan.

"To set the record straight, Shakib has never worked for Ivan.”

She said the photos were taken while hanging out together.

Ivan Ssemwanga died on the morning of Thursday, May 25, 2017, after suffering a heart attack. He died at Steve Biko Hospital in Pretoria, South Africa.

The former member of the self-styled Rich Gang group dated Zari and sired three kids with her. They are Pinto Ssemwanga, Dido Ssemwanga and George Ssemwanga.

Zari and Ssemwanga never married but they held a lavish introduction ceremony in 2011 that is said to have cost over a billion shillings.

They would split in 2013, with Zari accusing him of domestic violence. In 2014, Zari's romance with Diamond Platinumz became public and they had two kids together before splitting in 2018.
