He further told Vic that he wanted his property registered in the names of his children rather than his wife’s, expressing concern about how his estate should be handled.
Vic, who participated in the conversation, believes the frustrations Kapere expressed in the recording could have contributed to his death.
He also reportedly referred to an earlier confession in which the comedian had spoken about taking his own life, raising further questions about the challenges he may have been facing before his death.
However, the circumstances surrounding Kapere’s death remain unclear, and there is no established evidence linking the alleged marital problems to his death.
The emergence of the voice note has sparked renewed interest in the comedian’s private life, with questions being raised about the challenges he may have been experiencing before his death.
The allegations against Nakandi are based solely on Kapere’s claims in the recording and have not been independently verified. Nakandi is yet to publicly respond to the allegations or give her side of the story.
