By A Correspondent| One of Zimbabwe’s most prominent doctors, Dr Morgan Nyakabau has died.

He was 67 and is survived by 4 children.

He was based in Harare.

He died on Saturday 4th April and his demise has left questions why the state media failed to publish it.

His first wife, Dr Anna Nyakabau confirmed the legendary medic is no more.

She described him as an outstanding man who was loving, and smart.

“It is really a great loss to the nation to an individual who did not understand, he was a great writer, he was an avid reader, he was an artist, (it is only that) for people who would have grown up in the rural areas those talents would not have been developed well. I am talking from a person who knew him.

“Yes I was no longer with him but I have a lot of respect for him,” she said.

Prominent author, Tsitai Dangarembwa said, ‘ I hear with deep sadness that Dr Morgan Nyakabau has passed on. We have lost a fine physician and a compassionate human being. I send my condolences to his family, wishing them strength and comfort, and Dr Nyakabau final rest in the arms of his Maker.”

Meanwhile, a colleague told ZimEye his body was tested at Wilkins Hospital and found to be negative of the coronavirus.
