This is not the first time the football icon has suffered a stroke. In 2006, Kadenge collapsed at Camp Toyoyo Grounds, Nairobi on December 23 while watching a football match.

“We believe this is related to the passing on of our sister, Everlyn Kadenge, who died last Sunday in the United States,” he explained.

He was taken in for high blood sugar level complications and diabetes.
