Tsvangirai's condolence message on the death of Bornwell Chakaodza
03 Feb 2012 at 09:34hrs | Views
It is with deep sadness that I learnt of the passing on of veteran journalist Bornwell Chakaodza.
Chakaodza spent decades in the journalism trenches from his days at the Ministry of information, at the Herald, at the Standard and lately as an incisive columnist.
In an era where standards and objectivity have gone low in journalism, Chakaodza was a breath of fresh air through his poignant and frank writings.
It is therefore with sorrow that I learnt that he had finally succumbed after a long battle with cancer.
May his work and journalistic legacy be an inspiration to the new crop of journalists and spur them to objective, fair and ethical journalism.
On behalf of the Government, the people of Zimbabwe and indeed on my own behalf, I wish to convey my deepest sympathy and condolences to the Chakaodza family and to the journalistic fraternity.
May the soul of this gallant son rest in eternal peace.
