Cooking for 75 hours sounds easy until you realize that #ChefMaliha had a menu with 400 meals.
FOUR HUNDRED!!But, what's even more amazing is that she is using all that to raise awareness and to feed the less fortunate kids in Mombasa.This woman is truly iconic.Phenomenal! https://t.co/leiJhNptYp— Captain Rubani (@shobanes) August 18, 2019
Congratulations @ChefMaliha. You have not only made Mombasa & Kenya proud but the entire African continent. You personified the true spirit of endurance and resilience in an African woman, in braving the heat & daring sleep for over 75 hours while showcasing your culinary skills. pic.twitter.com/x06ztLfbmw

John Demathew was there in the cassettes era, the cd era, the dvd era, the skiza tune era and still is even in this you tube craze era! You know why? He produced ever greens with a touch of modernity. He will forever remain in our hearts #RIPDemathew

I have always loved "Njata Yakwa" by John DeMathew, a song in which Murang'a County Woman Representative Hon. Sabina Chege acted as John DeMathew's wife. You will be missed legend. #RIPDeMathew pic.twitter.com/NLubNlDDx3
