The man who set himself ablaze in Mombasa has been identified by his family as 28 yrs old Robert Gituhu from Kirangari area in Kiambu county. Gituhu passed on yesterday at Coast General hospital. He had sustained 80% body burns. The family says his mental conditions developed and escalated with the frustrations of failing to secure employment after graduating with a degree in Engineering from the University of Eldoret in 2021. He disappeared three days ago and the family reported the matter to Kirangari Police Station only for them to find out that he was the man who set himself on fire.

It is indeed quite sad to give up at the age of 28. Some individuals find themselves compelled to begin anew in their 40s after experiencing significant losses. This is why possessing grit is exceedingly important in the life of every person.

What is grit in life?
Grit is a combination of passion and perseverance in an effort to achieve long-term goals. Without passion, perseverance leads to burnout. And without perseverance, we simply give up. Grit gives people a mental toughness that enables them to persist — and even succeed — in the face of adversity.
