AfricaPress-Tanzania: <\/strong>BONGO Flavour star Nassib Abdul \u2018Diamond Platnumz\u2019 recently pledged to pay liver surgery expenses of Frank Cosmas, a resident of Tandale in Dar es Salaam.<\/p>\n

It is part of his ongoing campaign to help underprivileged persons during this tough period of Covid-19 which has already seen him paying three months house rent to 500 deprived families across the country.<\/p>\n

Speaking briefly after visiting the sick young man, Diamond said he saw the news about his sickness via his Wasafi Television, hence decided to come forward and extend a helping hand.<\/p>\n

\u201cImmediately after watching the programme, I decided to come here in person and learn from you what you need to come back to your normal life,\u201d Diamond Platnumz said.<\/p>\n

He then gave him cash for a six months house rent plus another amount to buy foodstuffs and medicine, while waiting to go for operation in few days to come.<\/p>\n

On his part, Cosmas thanked Diamond Platnumz for the good gesture, while insisting that his condition is far from better.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was told by the doctor that I need to be operated but due to the high expense required, it was impossible for me to undergo such procedure,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Cosmas came to Dar es Salaam to seek medication but lives in Njombe.<\/p>\n

In a past interview, Diamond said: \u201cThis year, I had a lot of music shows to be performed in different parts of the world but have been cancelled or pushed forward as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic, thereby I have lost a lot of money but that should not stop me from assisting people who support my music.\u201d<\/p>\n

He then decided to offer freely his newly bought hotel located in Mikocheni to government to be used as a quarantine centre for people, who have tested Covid-19 positive.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is a 30-room hotel with a conference hall and I want to upgrade it further but during this period, government is free to use it as either a hospital or a quarantine centre for those affected by coronavirus,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
