According to DailyNation, Wanza was rushed to a private clinic after developing complications, but died shortly after giving birth.
“It was an emergency. While at the facility, her situation worsened as she gave birth. She bled to death. Unfortunately, her baby also died minutes later,” Ashiners Films CEO Ann Hamburg said.
“Maureen will be best remembered for her role as Sasha in the swahili program Sumu which she got nominated for best lead actress in a TV drama at Kalasha awards 2015,” posted Langiri.
Many have mourned the actress as a great talent gone too soon.
