Renowned Kenyan journalist Nick Mudimba has passed away.

According to reports from Mpasho, Mudimba collapsed at his home in Syokimau, Machakos County, on Sunday evening and passed away.

The CGTN Africa journalist, who had been unwell, was with his family when he suffered the fatal collapse. Sources indicate that on Saturday, he was diagnosed with health complications, including high uric acid levels.
