Well, today, Jeff Koinange's grandmother breathed her last and he took to social media to share the sad news with his followers. He wrote;

"Folks, it is with a heavy heart that I announce the passing away of one of my GREATEST Shujaas.. Go well, Grandma. You will be fondly remembered as a LOYAL wife to the Great Senior Chief Koinange, a WONDERFUL Mother, a CARING Grandmother, an AMAZING Great Grandmother and LAUGHING Great Great Grandmother.
