• The former business reporter and business anchor has eulogised an older brother of hers who died in the recent crash.

• The crash has killed 19 people so far.

A few hours ago, former television presenter, Cynthia Nyamai disclosed the terrible information that she had lost her good friend in yesterday's Precision Air crash.

In an Instagram post she made, Cynthia started by stating that she had had a premonition all wasn't well when she heard news of the crash.

"When I saw the news this morning the Holy Spirit told me to prepare because someone close to me was in the crash."

She then went on to reveal that the person she had lost was her big brother and reminisced about the moments they had shared together as kids.

"One more chance ….Thank you for being like my big brother while growing up. It’s been a tough day thinking through all our childhood memories until a few months ago. My family was praying that you will be on the survivor’s list ."

She finished the message hopefully by surmising that one day they would meet in heaven, something that would be a comfort to the family that had been left behind.

Many of her followers online immediately consoled her after such a devastating loss. Some of those comments are below;

niiabbeymusicMy sincere condolences to you Prophetess Cynthia. May the Holy Spirit comfort you and your family throughout this hard time ❤️

bettymurungi Please accept my deepest condolences dear Cynthia . Praying for comfort for you and the family.

Mpasho.co.ke called Cynthia for some more information concerning her late friend but she still wasn't in the state of mind to speak on it. (Which is quite understandable)

Tanzanian prime minister Kassim Majaliwa confirmed that the crash in Lake Victoria yesterday had a death toll of 19 passengers.

Kassim also said the government will be working with all the agencies to establish the cause of the accident.

Multiple sources reported that the deaths may have occurred as a result of the plane being submerged in the water.

The airline has, however, remained noncommittal on stating the fact, only holding that it was yet to confirm the number of fatalities.

In its periodic updates, the company said 26 passengers aboard the plane had been rescued and rushed to hospital.

It also said that there were no deaths reported so far with rescue mission for the missing passengers ongoing.
