As Ivan lay on his hospital bed word broke out that Zari and one of Ivanâs relatives were fighting over his wealth.
Rumours which Zari Hassan has come to deny admitting that there was a fight in the family over Ivanâs money but she was not involved in it.
âI wasnât fighting; I heard the stories from the other family. Yaani it wasnât a priority to me because I know what belongs to the kids or me or whatever, everyone shall get what belongs to them.âShe said.

She said that Ivanâs uncleâs behaviour after Ivanâs death over the money did not please her because he was not Ivanâs dad, he was his uncle and he was not entitled to Ivanâs wealth. He knew very well that Ivan had left his kids behind so what did he expect they would survive on?
âYou are a grown able man why donât you look for your things, are you snatching the kids' money?â She wondered out loud during the ineterview.
She then went on to add that she wouldnât fight Ivanâs relatives and has no beef with them because they are family, whether she likes it or not. Plus she never knows when she might need their support given that she has sons and will need their help now that Ivan is gone. They might have their step-father Diamond, but he cannot do it alone, they will need support from Ivanâs family.

In a video posted online by Ugandaâs Big Mouth site, Ivan was said to have left everything in Zariâs care since she is the mother of his 3 sons. She was said to have also been granted the power of attorney which basically means she is allowed to make financial decisions on behalf of Ivan like selling property for him and conducting business transactions.
Speaking on Millard Ayo, Zari revealed that she had not been granted power of attorney but had been left with some of Ivanâs businesses to run which included a college in South Africa and other property in Uganda.
âObviously when it comes to the businesses, I will continue handling them since Iâm the mum. About power of attorney no it hasnât been put in place, but I will run the colleges in South Africa, he has two properties one in his name, one in both our names. I have my own property which Iâm renting and will continue managing.â She said before adding âWe will take it one day at a time to keep his legacy going.â
