He married his first wife, Winy, with whom they bore two children, but she left him due to poverty. Ndiema tied the knot again to Ugandan Ruth Cheptoyek and they had one child before she also walked out of the union due to financial constraints.
“Life was really tough for my brother as both women walked out on him, but he kept on working hard to make ends meet having been left with the three kids. I took in the children despite my struggles,” she recalls.
The elder sister of Dickson Ndiema, who died at the Moi Teaching Referral Hospital in Eldoret on Monday, said her late brother loved Ugandan athlete Rebecca Cheptegei.
Speaking to Nation Sport on Wednesday at her home in Kabiyet village in Moiben, Uasin Gishu County, Naomi Kiprop revealed that the two were more than just boyfriend and girlfriend.
