Stanley Goredema passed away Tuesday at age 73 after battling illness at Kutama Mission Hospital. The veteran broadcaster helped start Radio 3 back during the early 1980s when Zimbabwe needed fresh media voices. His colleagues remember him as someone who made the newsroom a brighter place to work. James Gora worked alongside Goredema and says the man stayed humble throughout his career. Radio 3 later became Power FM and remains popular with young listeners today.

Goredema spent decades burying national heroes at the shrine after leaving his radio job. His wife Josline says he would wake up at 1 am sometimes to handle burial duties for the country. The man dedicated 35 years to the National Museums and Monuments organization before retiring. His uncle Harry remembers how Goredema kept helping dig up fallen freedom fighters even after retirement. Community members say he pushed hard for local development projects wherever he lived.

People from his hometown gather at the family home to remember his good deeds. His church friends at the Methodist congregation will miss his helpful spirit. Goredema leaves behind his wife and five children who must carry on his legacy. The broadcaster touched many lives through his work at ZBC and his burial services. His death marks the end of an era for Zimbabwe's media history.
