They tried to treat him at Bugando Referral Hospital, but he was transferred to JKCI for further treatment before he passed away while he was under medical care.

He was known for many songs with the group, including “Mkono wake Bwana,” “Swetie Sweetie,” “Sisi Ndio Wale,” “Uko Single,” “Nakutuma Wimbo,” and many others.

Abron first made a name for themselves with their hit song ‘Mkono Wa Bwana’.

Since then, they’ve wowed fans with lots of other songs.

The Zabron Singers are more than just a musical group; they are a family. Many members come from one family, while the rest are close family friends.

The lead singers in Sweetie Sweetie, Victoria, Jamila, Japheth and  Joseph who was the group leader, come from the Zabron family.

Condolences to the family and May his soul rest in peace.
