On May 28th 2010, Mr Msalame collapsed and died at his Shekki FM studios at Nyali in Mombasa.

Tony Msalame was a legendary broadcaster who dominated Kenya’s airwaves since independence.
Grace Msalame’s recent post has triggered memories from her fans as some joined in to celebrate the veteran Media personality as a hero of his time.
In the early 1980s, he was popularly known for a programme called Ongeza maarifa which he co-presented with Joshua Mwakale.
Mr Msalame is remembered for his radio quiz show Zum Zum kipindi cha kuongeza maarifa on KBC that he co-hosted with Tido Mhando.
