In the footage, the young men are seen washing the exterior of the imposing building, while the women scrub the tiled floors of the mansion with notable intensity, suggesting preparations for a significant event.
The scale and energy of the clean-up have led some social media users to suggest that the activity may be linked to preparations for the funeral of the late missionary and inventor.
Since his passing and the customary one-week observance, there has been little public communication regarding funeral arrangements for the respected figure.
Known for maintaining a high level of privacy around family matters, the Kantanka family has not made any official announcement regarding funeral plans.
As a result, some observers have resorted to interpreting such developments as possible indicators.
Despite the absence of official confirmation, the clean-up exercise has fuelled speculation among netizens, with many suggesting it could be part of preparations towards the final funeral rites.
