Jane Mlambo| A GoFundMe campaign has been opened for Patience Nyangove, a Zimbabwean journalist who died in Namibia early this week, with the hope of raising USD3000 towards repatriating her body back home.

Nyangove who was working in Namibia was hospitalised for months suffering from brain infection.

According to the message on the campaign posted by Sandra Mandizvidza, the funding will help the repatriation of her body from Namibia to Zimbabwe and also assist with support to her son.

“Prominent Confidante journalist Patience Nyangove is no more. The Zimbabwean born journalist has been hospitalised at Windhoek hospital over the past months after doctors detected a brain infection. Until the time of her demise , she has been a journalist at The Confidente Newspaper in Namibia.

“A top-drawer reporter covering health, hard news, investigative and feature writing, Patience has over 15 years work experience in the print industry. Her journalism career began in Zimbabwe where she worked for the AMH Media holdings which publishes The Standard,  News Day and The Zimbabwe Independent. She has also worked in South Africa and had stints with the Mail and Guardian, among others before joining Informante Newspaper around 2009, in Windhoek.

“Lately Patience has been juggling between a full time job at The Confidente and academy studies at the university of Namibia where she was completing her studies towards an Honours Degree in Public Management.

“She was a single mother and has left a young son behind,  May Her Soul Rest In Peace.”
