Tanzanian singer Ben Pol real name Benard Michael Paul Mnyang'anga is mourning the death of his father Mzee Paul.
Ben shared a photo of he and his late dad holding wine classes as they enjoyed a good time, he then announced the death of his dad in a caption that read;
"RIP Strongman #DAD," he added a heartbreak emoji and a praying emoji.
The cause of his death is yet to be announced to the public.
Although he's one of the most sought after stars in East Africa, Ben Pol has managed to keep his own family on the low key.
