K24 news anchor Anjlee Gadhvi has died after a long battle with cancer.
She succumbed to her illness at the Aga Khan Hospital on Friday afternoon.
“Oh my friend @AnjleeGadhvi. You fought that cancer beast with all your might. You did it for your kids, husband. Never lost hope. You always smiled through the pain & insisted on coming to work even at your weakest points. We believed you were winning…until now! RIP my friend,” said Peter Opondo, the Group Head of TV and Digital at Mediamax.
She was diagnosed with liver cancer in 2013 and pursued several treatment options that eventually turned out to be too expensive for her and her family.
Two years later, she went public about her ordeal, appealing to well-wishers to help her raise funds.
She was able to raise over Ksh.6million within hours, local media reported.
The jovial news anchor would later announce on social media that she had beaten the disease and was completely healed.
Again in 2018, she travelled to India for another treatment procedure known as the CyberKnife System.
This is a fully robotic radiation delivery system that treats cancerous and non-cancerous tumors.
Anjlee leaves behind a husband and two children.
