Comedian Walter Mong'are in mourning following 'surreal' passing of his father

The Umoja Summit Party leader and former Director of Youth and Development in the Office of the President Walter Mong’are alias Nyambane is mourning the loss of his father.

Mong’are took to his social media accounts to announce the passing of his dad.

“Still surreal that the man I've loved and called father for over 47years has taken a bow. It's painful but the fond memories remain. #dadsinheaven,” Mong’are wrote.

Mong’are remembered his father as a disciplinarian who ensured they were fed while growing up.

“Dad was a disciplinarian who, before he punished us, ensured we were well fed. My siblings and I wouldn't be where we are had it not been for him,” he added.

Mong’are thanked his family and friends for their support during his dark moments.
