THE late United Kingdom-based Zimbabwean journalist and former Chronicle news editor, Brian Moyo, who died at the beginning of this month, will be buried at Umvutshwa Cemetery tomorrow.

Moyo died at the age of 65 in England after battling lung cancer for a long time.

His brother, Mr Samuel Moyo yesterday said Brian’s body was repatriated to South Africa yesterday morning and is expected in Bulawayo today.

“His body arrived in South Africa this morning and is expected to be in Bulawayo on Friday morning in preparation for burial on Saturday.

“A funeral service for Brian will be held at 10AM 26 Holl Road in Kumalo, where people are gathered. We’ll proceed to Umvutshwa Cemetery for burial at 12 noon,” said Mr Moyo.

Moyo worked for The Chronicle in the 1980s before he moved to the UK in 1988 where he worked for various newspapers and magazines in London before setting up his own website, Touch Base Africa.
He also worked as a consultant editor.

A Masters graduate in Media Studies holder with vast experience in journalism straddling daily newspapers, corporate publications, business magazines, wire services and Intranet, Moyo died in the UK on June 2 after a long battle with lung cancer.

Born in Luveve, Bulawayo, Moyo, the fourth child in a family of eight, did his primary education at Mbizo School and his secondary education at Luveve Technical College.State media
