Tanzanian music star Diamond Platnumz is once again demonstrating the strength of kindness by helping a struggling boda boda rider whose motorcycle was seized over an unpaid debt of Tsh 50,000 (approximately Sh2,400). This touching tale emerged after the rider voiced his challenges on social media, replying to a post from the hitmaker known for his chart topping tracks.
In a world where social media often amplifies negativity, Diamond's interaction with his followers took a different, more empathetic route. The boda boda rider, whose bike had been seized by authorities for failing to pay the fine, expressed his frustration and need for assistance on a post made by the star. Within hours, the Tanzanian superstar saw the post and immediately responded, offering to clear the debt through his finance manager Makame Fumbwe, allowing the man to retrieve his bike and continue his livelihood.
