Remember that novel, WEEP NOT CHILD that was used in schools? He wrote it..
''It is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of our dad, Ngũgĩ wa Thiong'o this Wednesday morning, 28th May 2025. He lived a full life, fought a good fight. As was his last wish, let's celebrate his life and his work. Rîa ratha na rîa thŭa. Tŭrî aira!
The family's spokesperson Nducu Wa Ngugi will announce details of his celebration of life soon.
