In 2017, Lulu was convicted of involuntary manslaughter for his death and sentenced to two years in prison. In October 2017 She testified to the High Court of Tanzania that after Kanumba confronted her, he took her to his room by force and starting beating her with a sword while he was intoxicated, she claimed that Kanumba fell down and hit his head while beating her with the sword. In January 2013 Michael was granted bail. Later, the charges were amended to involuntary manslaughter. Michael was arrested and stayed in remand for almost a year for investigation. Kanumba was taken unconscious to Muhimbili National Referral Hospital where he was declared dead. Elizabeth "Lulu" Michael, 17-year-old girlfriend at that time, was charged with manslaughter in connection with the death. Kanumba died after he fell in his bedroom on 7 April 2012, apparently from a head injury after falling and hitting his head on the wall. Shortly before his death he had been preparing for his first Hollywood film role, although he was already "Tanzania's most popular film star" and appeared in Nollywood films. In 2011, Kanumba was named an Oxfam GROW Ambassador. In 2009, he was a special celebrity guest on Big Brother Africa 4. He also appeared in the films She is My Sister, This Is It, and Love Gamble. He appeared in Dar 2 Lagos (Part 1) (Part 2), a film by Mtitu Game that used both Tanzanian and Nigerian actors and crew. In 2006 he met Nazz who gave him advice and further connections for his career. He appeared in the television soap operas Jahazi and Dira and made his film debut in Haviliki. In 2002, he joined the theater group Kaole Arts Group. Kanumba began acting in the 1990s in church productions. He spoke three languages fluently: Swahili, Sukuma and English. He joined Jitegemee High School for his high level education. He began his studies at Bugoyi Primary School and continued with his secondary studies at Mwadui Secondary School, later transferring to Vosa Mission Secondary School.

He was described as "Tanzania's most popular film star", and appeared in Nollywood films. Over 30,000 people were estimated to have attended his funeral. Kanumba died in 2012 at the age of 28, for which actress Elizabeth Michael was convicted of involuntary manslaughter and sentenced two years in prison in November 2017. Be warned this movie contains no ice, just two sisters with brown and blonde hair None of this really bothers kids too much and my 7 year old did want to watch it again but that will only happen when I am not around.Steven Charles Kanumba (8 January 1984 – 7 April 2012) was a Tanzanian actor and director of Sukuma heritage, born in Shinyanga Region. As the credits rolled, this movie was clearly made some years ago and has only seen the light of day thanks to Disneys success. Plot holes abound and it does seem like there are missing scenes as the movie suffers from poor editing probably due to budget The movies main drawback is cheap animation, cutting to 2D when it could for flash backs and even worse simply changing the frame rate when someone needs to move slow or fast, and body movement at the bottom of the 3D ladder The voice acting is average, in line with the budget, but I had to increase the centre speaker so the voices could be heard over the background music. Like Barbie movies, there is the obligatory Pegasus and fairies which seem to have no real purpose and has obligatory songs as it tries to cover all bases. Sadly for me, the plot is unique enough to stand on its own even though this movie takes themes from many other plots and was not bad, just cheap. We laughed at how this seemed like a rip off of a ahem Disney movie set in "something" dale Be aware this contains a spoiler at the end We decided to watch it with the express intention of making fun of it at every moment. When I saw the trailer accidentally on YouTube, I immediately showed my two daughters.
