Dead, Comic star Benson Wanjau, known to many by the name of his popular TV character “Mzee Ojwang”.

He died of pneumonia at hospital earlier in July aged 78 years old.

Despite acting for more than 50 years, he could not afford to pay his medical bills and a social media campaign by fans was organised to raise the money.

Hundreds of film colleagues gathered at a stadium in the capital, Nairobi, for the funeral, also paid for by fans.
