Tanzania’s richest man and media mogul was always deliberate with the messaged he posted on his social media.
Mengi passed on today while receiving treatment in Dubai.
His last message to his wife, Jacqueline Mengi was a tweet send out days before his death.
“JNMengi, my sweetheart, I love you more than the sand in all the seas in the whole world. God willing will see you tomorrow xxxxx.”
This was just after he had wished her a happy anniversary.
“Happy Anniversary My Sweet love. It has been a very exciting journey full of love and happiness. I love you crazy.”

The post elicited soooooo many reactions with young men bowing to Reginald for being romantic.
“Mzee tufundishe mapenzi na sisi, maana hela hatuna na mapenzi hatujui, upo juu una mahaba hadi shetani anaogopa. Ila somo nalolipata ukitaka kuwa na mahaba makali kuwa na demu mzuri.”
Jacqueline is a former 2000 Miss Tanzanian and musician. She is famed for hits like Crazy Over You and Nalia Kwa Furaha under the street moniker Klynn.

Financial pundits premise that Jacqueline will now be on f the richest women in Tanzania and Africa as Mengi’s widow.
But away from her late husband’s wealth, Jacqueline has made a name for herself as an entrepreneur.
She is an award winning furniture designer and chairman of Amorette Ltd a furniture design and manufacturing company.
Jacqueline is also the founder and chairman of Dr Ntuyabaliwe Foundation a charity organization which provides libraries and books to local primary schools.
Anyhow, one of Mengi’s last tweets revolved around his projects.
In one tweet the tycoon revealed, “I’m in India to catch up with latest race on stem cell and gene engineering technology. Remember Mwalimu Nyerere once advised us to run while others walked. Pse pray for me to win this race.”

And the other tweet read: “Midomo imeubwa kusema.wanasema wanachofikiria hata kama ni uongo lakini watauamini,wataueneza na watakuhukumu kwa uongo wao – Kikwete 2009.”
