If you are a fan of Swahili comedy then I am sure you know who Mzee Majuto is! As for those who are not familiar with him, then allow me to explain who the comedian is.

Well, Mzee Majuto is among the funniest comedian from Tanzania and has been entertaining many for years now. He has also been featured in a couple of Bongo songs where he always manages to bring out his funny character without trying too hard!

Anyway, a few days ago there were rumors making rounds on social media claiming that the old comedian had passed on. However one of his closest friends has come out to brush off the rumors as the comedian is still alive though his health seems to be deteriorating due to old age.

Through his Instagram page Haji Salum popularly known as Mboto wrote saying;

Mzee Majuto’s health deteriorating

“Baada ya kupata taarifa mbaya kuhusu Mzee Majuto nimelazimika kuja kwake Tanga. Ni kweli anaumwa ila anaendelea vizuri na si kama watu walivyozusha kuwa mzee hatunaye. Kwa sasa mzee ni mzima nipo naye Tanga,”

However it is quite sad to see how old age has turned Mzee Majuto’s life upside down.
