SAD: TV actor Papa Shirandula is dead

Popular TV actor Papa Shirandula is dead.

Papa Shirandula, whose real name is Charles Bukeko, died on Saturday morning in what was suspected to be COVID-19, family sources said.

His family said he passed on at Karen Hospital where he was rushed for emergency treatment after experiencing breathing difficulties.

“He died on arrival in hospital,” a family member said, “he had been in his rural home in Western Kenya where he fell ill.”

He is said to have tested positive for COVID-19, and even gone into isolation but his condition was worsened by diabetes, according to his family and colleagues.

The late renowned actor Papa Shirandula catapulted to fame with the rise of the Citizen TV drama titled ‘Papa Shirandula’ where he played the role of a security guard.

Fans and celebrities alike have taken to social media to mourn the talented actor who has been in the industry for couple of decades.

Earlier this week, the youngest daughter of anti-apartheid icon Nelson Mandela reportedly passed on from Coronavirus.

Other stars whose lives have been claimed due to the novel Coronavirus include Manu Dibango and Aurles Mabele.
