Zimbabwe Lawyers for Human Rights (ZLHR) has expressed deep sadness over the tragic loss of Professor Sam Moyo in a motor vehicle accident in India over the weekend.
ZLHR Communications officer Kumbirai Mafunda in a statement said Professor Moyo will be remembered by generations for his scholarship on land and agrarian studies in the global South, and more particularly in his homeland of Zimbabwe.
"His intellectual prowess was coupled with a gentle nature, humility and generosity of time, knowledge and mentorship which is so often missing in our society today.
Sam's untimely departure leaves Zimbabwe poorer, but blessed with his lifetime of scholarly contribution, recorded as it is for posterity," he said.
"The ZLHR Board, secretariat and membership extend deep condolences to Sam's mother, Mavis Moyo, his partner and ZLHR Board Chairperson, Beatrice Mtetwa, his children, extended family, friends and work colleagues at this most difficult time.
May his beloved soul rest in eternal peace."
