Sad! Papa Shirandula’s wife narrates his last moments before breathing his last (Video)

As we continue to pay tribute to Sir Charles Bukeko, as we continue to honor his legacy, only his widow, Beatrice Andega Afwai lives to tell what actually transpired before and during the fateful day.

Up and close on Churchill Television, the humble mother of 3 vividly recounted the turn of events that saw Papa lose his battle in this life.

Turns out, the last 2/3 weeks Papa was actually working day and night in Karen, Nairobi in collaboration with Safaricom, without going home.

He then made it home on Saturday but he was not feeling well a day later.

Come Sunday he says “I’m feeling cold, I’m worried”. But then I told him, if it’s cold, he has been in Karen and it’s so cold there.

So Beatrice advised her husband to have tests done on him to establish the root cause of his illness.

But my first point was, can you go for a test and make sure those tests are three; Pneumonia, Malaria and Covid-19. Covid because he has been mingling with a lot of people then the other two because it has been too cold and the symptoms are similar.

Sad goodbyes

Monday, tests were conducted, Tuesday Papa speculated that the three tests had been done only for one test to come back from hospital on Wednesday – that of Covid.

Unfortunately, unknown to his wife and children, his days on earth had lapsed.

From that time on, he took us out of the room and told us to ensure we don’t get close to him and we wear masks. But Friday, I noticed he was having trouble breathing and asked to rush him to the hospital. I just don’t know how fast the weakness got into him…
