Jazeel’s body was transported by flight to Nairobi, where he was buried on December 26 in observance of his faith.
“It is with profound sorrow and deepest heartache that we confirm the tragic passing of Jazeel, the beloved son of Nazizi Hirji, on Christmas Day, December 25th, 2023, in Tanzania. We lost this young soul in an unfortunate accident at a hotel where the family was staying. He was buried earlier today in Nairobi, in accordance with his religion,” read part of the statement.
Nazizi Hirji has asked the general public and the media to accord her and her family some privacy as they mourn the death of her son.
“In these dark times, the light of a child’s life—in all its innocence and joy—is undeniably the purest. The void left by the loss is both immeasurable and the pain is unbearable.
“In her son’s honour, Nazizi urges the media, fans, and the public to uphold the sanctity of family and the preciousness of life by fostering a period of privacy and respect as they navigate through this indescribable sorrow,” Nazizi appealed.
