Bebe Cool’s wife Zuena Kirema, has opened up about the emotional toll her family has endured, particularly regarding the challenges faced by their son, Alpha Ssali Thierry.
Alpha, a professional footballer for NEC FC, suffers from Esotropia, a condition in which the eyes are misaligned, often referred to as strabismus.
Zuena shared that her son’s eye misalignment was a result of an accident.
She explained in an interview that Alpha has already undergone four eye surgeries as a result of the accident.

The surgeries, she said, have been a difficult journey for the entire family, especially for Alpha, who has had to cope with the physical and emotional pain.
Zuena expressed her frustration with online insults that Alpha has received, particularly regarding his condition. Despite the hurtful comments, she remains resolute and leaves judgment to God.
“He sees this, and it hurts him but there is nothing we can do,” she said.
"At times, I read some comments, and I wonder if some of these people know what I went through to get this boy to where he is today. I don’t think some of them would survive if God took them through the same suffering.”

The family has come a long way, and Zuena credits their strength to continuous prayers and support.
She remarked, “It took a lot of encouragement to him. The surgeries were especially stressful to him. We all worried a lot and had to pray a lot. We have come from afar, and where we are, we thank God.”
However, her faith and gratitude towards God have been central to her family’s resilience.
