Nick Mudimba, a reporter for CGTN Africa, died suddenly on Sunday evening, March 23, 2025. His family said he collapsed at his home in Syokimau, Machakos County. They stayed with him when this happened.
A family member said Mudimba had felt sick lately. Doctors found high uric acid in his body just on Saturday. They gave him medicine Sunday, just hours before he died. He seemed happy that day and watched a soccer game between Harambee Stars and Gabon before he took his medicine.
People there said Mudimba crashed to the floor, shook badly, and died right in his house. Staff took his body to a nearby Syokimau funeral home where doctors will check why he died. His work friends remember him as someone who worked hard and made life better for many through his news stories.
Mudimba worked at news stations like KTN and Switch TV before joining CGTN as a main reporter from Nairobi. CGTN Africa, which belongs to China Global Television Network from Chinese state media, said the news was true. Many friends posted sad messages online about this father of two kids.
His friends said Mudimba always helped people and did great work. Doctors will look at his body to find out exactly why he died. News people already felt sad about losing another reporter when they heard about Mudimba.
Officials found Fredrick Parsayo, who worked for state TV station KBC, dead in his Kinoo home on March 20. They think he might have killed himself. His news company told everyone this sad news and said the police were still looking into what happened. No one knows yet why this happened. Friends say Parsayo worked very hard and always helped others.
