Eyebrows were raised t the burial ceremony of a young lady only identified as Diana Misiko.

At the graveside, her pals did not cry or look sullen, they danced and celebrated her life.

She was known for dancing and that is what they did to celebrate her life.

They danced to Bongo hit song, Sukari by Zuchu.

The video of happy mourners dancing on the graveside has since gone viral. The video shows the mourners forming a circle around the grave and dancing in step with each other to the Tanzania hit song about seduction. 

One Facebooker, Bruno Kobuya, posted on the Mpasho News page explaining, 

"This was a burial of my friend. This was just a way of managing our stress. We cried like something else but later we accepted the situation."

Adding, "This was just a way of mourning our beloved one. RIP Dee Linconez. Diana was a jovial lady full of humour and she deserves such burial not stressful burials."

Bruno continued, "That was also a request by the church which was conducting the burial. Stressful burials went with the stone age not at this era."

Yesterday at the burial of osiepwa Diana Misiko aka Dee Linconez. May her soul rest in peace.
