The family of legendary Kenyan footballer Joe Kadenge has suffered double tragedy after the celebrated former footballer was admitted at Nairobi Hospital after suffering a stroke. Kadenge was admitted to the facility on Wednesday evening.

“The doctors say it is a stroke and he has not been able to talk for the past two days and we are really praying for his quick recovery,” said his son Oscar.

The news comes at a time when the family is mourning the death of Kadenge’s daughter who died in US. A select team of family members is expected to travel for her burial this weeks. It seems Mzee will not be part of the contingent.

You cannot speak about Kenyan football without mentioning Kadenge, the attacking midfiedler.

He was the heart of the all conquering Harambee Stars team of the 1960s. The phrase Kadenge na mpira was coined to celebrate his dribbling skills. He also featured for AFC Leopards and Maragoli United.
