Rhodes graduate dies in Kenya Westgate siege

The Westgate Siege in Nairobi, Kenya on Saturday claimed the life of an International Journalist working with Radio Africa, Kiss TV, Kiss 100 and XFM stations.

Ruhila Adatia, the last born in a family of four girls, went to the mall like any other shopper, not knowing that it was going to be the last time she will see the light of the day.

She was clad in a loose black top and black trousers with a blue and orange necklace completing the look. 

Ruhila was in the parking lot of the upscale mall for Sungold Sunrice Superchef, a cooking competition sponsored by the rice brand, which she was hosting.  

A fun-loving person, Ruhila is described on the East FM website as a “TV presenter by day and superhero in the evenings as I get you home in the traffic mess.”

A graduate of Rhodes University in Grahamstown in South Africa, she used to co-host The Rush on Metro East FM with Gupz Saund.  

Ruhila married Ketan Sood in January 2012 in what The Star on January 9 said was a three-day Swahili-themed wedding. She was pregnant with their first child.
