By A Correspondent | ZimEye-Simba Nyanhanga, founder of the ZimOnline Radio platform and former spokesperson for Joice Mujuru, has passed away.

Nyanhanga was found dead by his housekeeper at his Harare residence earlier today, colleagues told ZimEye.

The cause of death remains undisclosed at the time of this report.

In a poignant Facebook post from July 2, 2024, Nyanhanga hinted at an awareness of his mortality, which now carries a chilling resonance with his sudden passing.

Confirming the sad news, Nyanhanga’s family expressed their grief, with his nephew, Sir Titus VeTech, sharing a heartfelt tribute. Reflecting on a pivotal moment in his life, he wrote:
“In 2018, after getting suspended from ZRP High, I called my brother, who then called Daddy Simba. Knowing my father’s reaction, I was anxious, but Simba came, stood by me, and advocated on my behalf, saying, ‘Mwana ndozvavanoita.’ I ended up spending my two-week suspension at his place. I could always depend on him. I’m sorry I wasn’t there for you in your last moments, Dad. RIP Simba the kingmaker.”

The late Simba Nyanhanga will be remembered for his significant influence in Zimbabwe’s media landscape and for his unwavering support to those close to him.
