Many Kenyans will live to remember July 12 2015 on a Sunday evening when the founding fathers of Kenya's silver screens died .

His death came at time when he enjoyed a lot of success in the tv industry for he played part in various tv shows. The legendary actors was popular in the show 'vitimbi' and national celebrations as well as countless commercials.

 I personally think that if were born in the mod and late 2000's you missed quite a lot as far as real talent is concerned as Benson Wanjau popularly known as Mzee Ojwang was the epitome of all that. 

The star, who was crowned the founder of Kenyan comedy played roles in various programs such Vitimbi in 1985 and Darubini in 1980 as Mama Kayai's husband.

The Legendary ironically used to depict luo name 'Ojwang' in most of his shows but hailed from Mukuruweini in Nyeri county. 

One of the most horrific acting commercials during his acting era was that of the strike insecticide that killed insects 'fofofo' in a national celebrations. He is surely missed in the TV industry.

 Mzee died at the age of 78 years and left behind a widow and two children.
