Diamond’s father,Abdul Jumaa has been ailing for a while. His both legs are swollen and the condition has been determined as skin cancer. If not treated as soon as possible, he will have his legs amputated.
Jumaa says that he has been in that situation for a while for lack of funds to be treated; ”Kwa kweli miguu hii imenisumbua kwa muda mrefu sana. Nimehangaika katika hospitali nyingi tu lakini kwa kweli nimeshindwa kujitibia kutokana na gharama kuwa kubwa.”
Asked whether Diamond is aware of his sickness he says; ”Siwezi kumzungumzia sana lakini kikubwa mimi kwa sasa namshukuru Mungu kanikutanisha na dada kutoka Uingereza anaitwa Zubeda Humphries ambaye amekuja na kuahidi kunisaidia ili niweze kutibiwa.”
Diamond’s half sister came from London for the sake of her father’s illness. On arrival she requested Diamond to meet her and explain why he has not been taking are of their father yet he is aware that he has been ailing.
The relationship between Diamond and his dad has not been good since Jumaa neglected him with his mother while Diamond was still young. Its said that it might be the reason as to why he is yet to help him.
