Geoff Nyarota passed away at his home in Harare yesterday. The famous Zimbabwean reporter lived 74 years before losing his battle with illness. He made his name when he revealed the Willowgate scandal, which caught ministers buying cars secretly. Many remember him as the first person to run the Daily Newspaper.
Before his death, Geoff wrote several books about problems in Zimbabwe. His most recent work, The Honourable Minister, discusses widespread theft by officials. He also published two other important books: Against the Grain and The Graceless Fall of Mugabe. These writings came after his long career exposing corruption through journalism.
More details about his life and funeral plans will come later from his family. The news shocked many who knew him as a brave voice against wrongdoing throughout his career. His legacy stands as someone who never backed down from telling hard truths about powerful people.
