Hezeh, who has been battling diabetes for five years, was hospitalised two weeks ago and is still under treatment.

When it became apparent that Hezeh needed financial assistance, his fellow Kikuyu artiste and friend Karangu Muraya visited him in the hospital and started a live Facebook session which raised money for the beloved singer.
