Celebrated Kenyan author and activist Ngũgĩ wa Thiong’o has died at the age of 87. His family announced his passing on the evening of Wednesday, May 28, 2025. In a heartfelt message, his daughter Wanjiku wa Ngugi shared his final wish—that his life be celebrated with pride and gratitude. Memorial arrangements will be shared by the family soon.

Ngũgĩ, born in 1937 in Kamiriithu, Limuru, was a monumental voice in African literature. Known for A Grain of Wheat, Petals of Blood, and Devil on the Cross, he boldly rejected colonial influence by writing in his native Gikuyu. His 1977 play Ngaahika Ndeenda led to his arrest, and he spent years in exile. Tributes from leaders, writers, and readers have poured in, praising his courage, literary genius, and dedication to cultural liberation. His legacy lives on through his family and the generations inspired by his words.
