Gerald Mwangi, also known as Makanga Bae, is seeking help after being involved in a recent car accident. According to reports circulating on social media, the popular tout is currently admitted to Kenyatta National Hospital. His close friends have revealed that Mwangi is in a coma, and his leg was amputated due to the accident. They are urgently appealing for blood donations and financial assistance to support his treatment.
A public appeal for blood donations reads:
**"URGENT BLOOD DONATION APPEAL**
Name: Gerald Njoroge Mwangi (Mwash)
Hospital: Kenyatta National Hospital
Blood Group: B+ (positive)
Contact Person: Harmony
Phone Number: 0723071594."
Mwangi, 28, gained social media fame after a video of him collecting bus fare in a Supermetro matatu went viral, with many people surprised by his appearance, which contrasted with the typical image of a tout. Despite holding a degree in Catering, Mwangi turned to the matatu industry due to a lack of employment opportunities, earning a daily wage of around Ksh 700-1,000.
In a previous interview, Mwangi shared that his job as a tout allowed him to improve his living situation and provide for his family. "This job helped me move from a single room to a bedsitter, and now to a one-bedroom apartment," he said.
Wishing Gerald Njoroge Mwangi a speedy recovery.
