THE late Financial Gazette graphic designer, Godfrey Wozhele, was laid to rest on Sunday at his rural home in Murunguziva, Gokwe North. Wozhele, who got a big send-off from work colleagues and family, died last week on Thursday after a short illness. Wozhele was a senior graphic designer at The Financial Gazette.
He was 42 years old. Jester Media Services Group (JMSG) Editor-InChief Guthrie Munyuki described Wozhele, who was known by his colleagues as Goddie, as a true professional who loved his job. JMSG are the owners of the Daily News, Daily News On Sunday, The Financial Gazette, 3Ktv and BusinessLive.
“We have lost a gentleman and consummate professional. We are saddened and deeply-pained by his sudden death. “His loyalty and true professionalism will be sorely missed. Our deepest condolences to his wife, Blessing, son Munya and the Wozhele family,” said Munyuki.
Wozhele’s brother-in-law Leonard Gubwe, said the late newspaperman had been taken ill at Parirenyatwa hospital on Wednesday evening.
“He called me on Wednesday, saying he was having challenges with flu. His wife later phoned me, advising me that Godfrey had been admitted at Parirenyatwa hospital, where he was placed on oxygen. Unfortunately, he was pronounced dead today (yesterday) morning.”
