By Farai D Hove| The outgoing Harare Mayor Ben Manyenyeni has poured his tears of grief upon the passing on of the popular podium toaster, Emmanuel Manyika.

Wrote Manyenyeni, “We all share the shock of his passing on.

“What a distinguished compere and event host!

“I wouldn’t say MC, (maybe M.Sc.) – as he had perfected the SCIENCE of directing ceremonies.

“He was peerless in stature, competent and consistent in his delivery with finesse.

“Our loss too – our prayers are with his family at this time of grief.”
