A sad day for journalism in Zimbabwe
The Masuku family confirms with profound sadness the passing of Mr John Masuku, who passed away at his home in Mabelreign on the morning of Friday, 13 February 2026.
Though he had a known heart condition, Mr Masuku was in good health and going about his normal activities. His passing has come as a complete shock to the family, and we are still trying to process this sudden and unexpected loss.
Mourners are gathered at his residence:
Number 1 Pat Palmer Owen Drive, Cotswold Hills, Mabelreign.
Today marks World Radio Day, a day that held special meaning for Mr Masuku, who loved radio deeply. He passed on a day dedicated to a medium he cherished.
The family respectfully requests privacy and space to grieve during this very difficult time.
Further details regarding funeral arrangements and memorial service arrangements will be communicated in due course.
