Did you know that Susan Mashabe's great grand father Mzee Saa Nane Chawandi was the sole owner of the now Saa Nane Island National Park?
It is confirmed that Saa Nane Island brought Susan Mashibe into her present spotlight life. You probably must be wondering what is Saa Nane Island and what has it got to do with her? And who is Susan Mashibe anyway?
Let us take it from here:
Saa Nane Island National Park is a small wildlife sanctuary of only 0.5km sq size. It is situated on rocky Island in Lake Victoria. It is described as the first national park in the city. It will only take you 15 minutes through a boat ride to get there if you are in Mwanza City Center.
It is a home to Impala, rock hyrax, vervet monkeys, wild cats, claw-less otters and many other wild animals.

My first
if not early encounter was when she appeared as the cover girl on Fema Magazine.
The
coordination between Saa Nane and Suzan Mashibe is that, This young Iron woman's ancestors happened to live there. It is her roots.
She
claims that her Great grand father Mr. or Mzee Saa Nane lived there and her
mother was born there as well. It was so until when Tanzania decided to take the
island and make it the first ever zoo in 1964.
The conversation I personally had with her on tweeter says it all.
@karibubongo it is Sanane. After my late maternal great grandfather Mzee Sanane. My mother grew up there. Govt took the island in 1962.
