Shebesh, Sonko, Raila and Other Politicians Come Out In Droves to Mourn Mzee Ojwang

I don’t think there is any celebrity who was as famous as Mzee Ojwang. From people in high-end leafy suburbs to the people in the interior past of Kenya popularly referred to as mashinani , the name Mzee Ojwang Hatari was well known.

And it’s not only the common mwananchi who recognize Ojwang’s prowess in the acting field, politicians have come out in droves to mourn the fallen actor.

Check out some messages:
