DBE announced on Saturday that all schools for children with special educational needs and primary school pupils (from grade R to 7) were expected to return to classes daily under the traditional timetable from 26 July.
Ayimba (44) was battling cerebral malaria, which kept him away from the public eye since the start of 2021.
On May 9, Ayimba’s family gave an update on his health status, urging Kenyans to keep on contributing money to offset the medical bill of the ailing rugby legend.
Ayimba was admitted to the Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH) Private Wing.
After leaving his brief role as Kenya 15 s coach, Ayimba coached the Sevens team between 2006 and 2011, where they secured their first-ever World Series final in 2009 in Adelaide, Australia. In the same year, he led Shujaa to its maiden Rugby World Cup Sevens semi-final in Dubai.
