Family spokesperson Vusumuzi Mkhithika told ZBC News that
Mkhithika succumbed to Covid-19 related complications this Friday.
“We have lost a father, a friend and mentor. He gave us
good blueprint of what fatherhood is. He loved music and training young people
who were passionate about media.
“He had plans of getting involved in the media space as the
airwaves are opening. It is sad that he has left us without fulfilling his dreams. There will be no gathering at all and people
can call us for anything. Burial arrangements will be announced in due course.”
The late broadcaster joined Rhodesia Broadcasting Services
now ZBC in 1979 and rose to become Manager Radio Services, a position he held
until he left the national broadcaster in 2015.
On radio, Mkhithika presented various programmes including
Ukubingelelana, Yazini Umthetho, Radio Doctor and Izihlahla Zakithi.
He is survived by his wife Grace, five children and eight
grandchildren. ZBC
