Chira’s funeral was attended by a huge crowd, which stunned the organizers who were forced to set more seats and tents. The members of the “Chira Clan,” as they referred to themselves, paid their tributes to the late Internet sensation and even contributed to the funeral expenses, raising over $60,000.
Speaking to BBC, one of the organizers of Chira’s funeral, Faustine Lukale, who goes by the name Baba Talisha on social media, said, “These were just random TikTokers, no-one really mobilised them. We actually thought they were attending another burial in the neighbourhood.”
The crowd of young but unruly people who came to say their last goodbyes to Chira live streamed, took videos and selfies around Chira’s gravesite.
In the past, Chira revealed to his followers that he was HIV positive, which eventually led to alcohol abuse.
