The much-anticipated wedding of Amani Mollel and Rehema Chao took a tragic turn as the bride, who had excitedly prepared for her special day, met an untimely end in a fatal accident.

Groom to be in a mourning procession

Amani, the prospective groom, found himself bearing the heavy burden of grief as he carried the symbolic cross of his beloved on the day they were supposed to exchange vows.

The sorrowful scene unfolded in the Mwanga district of Kilimanjaro, Tanzania, where the community had gathered to witness a celebration turn into a sombre farewell.

"Msiba huu tumeupokea in a negative way kama ambavyo hakuna mtu anayeweza kupokea msiba in a positive way," said Amani.

Amani, originally poised to celebrate his union with Rehema on December 2 in Arusha, instead found himself in a procession of mourning.

How did the accident happen?

The tragic incident occurred on November 29 when the vehicle, a Raum, driven by Amani, collided with a lorry in the Kichwa cha Ng'ombe area.

The desperate attempt to avoid a pothole led to the devastating crash,.

It claimed not only the life of the bride but also resulted in the tragic loss of Amani's mother, Agnes Chao (75), and a 15-year-old girl named Irene Shija, who worked as a helper.

As Amani Mollel carried the weight of the situation—both literally and figuratively became the symbol of a community grappling with profound grief.
