RIP! Guy From The Royco Advert Allegedly Died From Covid-19

Kenyan households with a TV set are familiar with the Royco advertisement that features a chef, his wife, and their two children. The chef in the Royco advert goes by the name Mutodi Neshehe. He is from South Africa and he sadly passed away on July 1st but the family did not disclose the cause of his death. Below is the statement his wife Leslee Dalton issued on her social media to announce his demise:

‘It is with great sadness that we announce that Mutodi passed this evening at 10 past 7. Rest in peace Mutodi!! We love you!! I will take care of our girls like you would want me to. RIP. I want to say “thank you” to everyone for all the messages, prayers, and love. I am struggling to respond to everyone but i do appreciate all the kind words. The girls and i are doing our best to hang in there. We are busy working on all of the arrangements and we will inform everyone when everything is finalised. Much love and light to everyone!!!’

Prior to his death, his wife had posted on her Facebook page a week ago suggesting that the actor was experiencing Covid19 complications. South Africa is currently battling Corona’s third wave, and there are no enough hospital beds for everyone. Below is the post Mutodi’s wife made explaining his condition at that time:
