Ex-Changamwe MP Kajembe's son dies in Indian hospital

The late Seif Kajembe during a past gig in Mombasa, 2013.

Veteran Mombasa politician and former Changamwe MP Ramadhan Kajembe's son is dead.
Seif Kajembe died on Tuesday at 3am at a hospital in India where he has been receiving treatment for kidney problems.
His brother Sudi Kajembe said he has been at the hospital for the last two weeks.
The 45-year-old first born was being groomed to take over the political mantle from his father who has been in active politics for over 30 years.
The family said they are devastated by the news.
Seif vied for the Jomvu MP seat in 2013 but lost to his brother-in-law Badi Twalib.
He wanted to vie for the seat again in the August 8 general elections but was advised against the move owing to his kidney problems.
Instead, his brother Mwidani Kajembe vied but lost to Badi.
Reports indicate Seif was Kajembe's favourite son. His father had invested his hopes and material resources in him.

"Mheshimiwa has been having sleepless nights because of his favourite son. He loved than boy a lot," a close friend of the family said.
"He wanted him to take over from him but Allah had other plans for him."
"Seif had a kind heart and was willing to help people around him even at the expense of his own happiness," Said Hamza, a close friend, said.
"This is a big blow to Jomvu people."
Family and friends sent condolence messages on social media after the news of his death spread.
This is a second son of Kajembe to have died in the last few years.
Another of his sons died in South Africa a few years back after he was attacked by thugs.
