The Kenyan rugby fraternity and the entire sporting world was in shock yesterday after Shujaa legend Benjamin Ayimba died of cerebral malaria on Friday night. He continued: “I remember when I left High School and made it to the national team, Benja was the captain. First, he guided the team into booking its Olympics ticket in Rio before leaving a legacy of having introduced several youngsters on the World Rugby Sevens scene. He also inspired the team to three National Sevens Circuit titles between 1999 and 2001. He then had a short coach/player role for the Simbas before serving as Shujaa coach between 2006 and 2011 after succeeding his Impala’s Bill Githinji.
