According to Manduli’s family, she had been in and out of hospital for quite some time. Her untimely demise came on Wednesday afternoon after her condition deteriorated and she died at her home.
Manduli, who had been out of the public limelight in recent years, had also suffered a heart attack but recovered, according to sources.
She is known by most Kenyans for her unique and massive head scarfs that more often than not match the Nigerian-style dresses she so much loved.
The whole country is still in mourning after her death. She has passed on at the age of 73. May she rest in eternal peace.
