Famous Bongo Movies actress Wema Sepetu has said that she thought she'd die after recently falling ill. According to the former Miss Tanzanian pageant winner, she was battling pneumonia and that at one point, she was under so much pain that believed she’d pass away. Recounting her pneumonia battle, Wema revealed that her symptoms included difficulties in breathing and chest congestion. While revealing that she’s currently in a better state, Wema said that she plans on making a Dua (Muslim prayer of supplication) to God for sparing her life.

“I thought it was the end of me and opted to share photos on Instagram so that in case of any (bad) news, people would know I was going through a lot of pain. Some might think it's a joke but given how I was feeling, I saw my death. I was unable to breathe…I went through a lot of pain,” she told Global Publishers.
