@HonAdenDuale It is with profound sorrow that I have learnt of the death of Catherine Kasavuli who, for a long time, has been battling cervical cancer.
@jamessmat Catherine Kasavuli was unbelievably pleasant, humble, and warm. She said to me when I joined TV to "always choose to be humble because I have been invited in people's homes" her huge star can't be dimmed and her place in Kenya's history is secured.
@FerdyOmondi I had the honour of sharing the studio with Catherine Kasavuli in my early years as a sports news anchor at Citizen TV. She was a graceful senior colleague, a calm teacher, and a respectful mentor.Peace be with your spirit. Go well, Catherine.
