PRESIDENT Emmerson Mnangagwa has sent a condolence message to the Sadza family following the death of Dr Davison Sadza (91) last week.
A renowned medical doctor and former chair for Zimpapers and the Zimbabwe Mass Media Trust, Dr Sadza died on 11 June. President Mnangagwa described him as a humble, soft-spoken and truly professional medical officer. He said Dr Sadza played a critical role in offering medical assistance to the injured during the liberation struggle and in shaping the National Health Policy.
“His role in the medical field apart, Dr Sadza for a long time chaired the Zimbabwe Mass Media Trust Board during which time he actively shaped our media industry and Government investments therein. He inculcated a strong sense of patriotism among our journalists. On behalf of Zanu-PF, Government, my family and indeed on my own behalf, I wish to express my sincere condolences to the Sadza family, especially to his wife, Dr Hope Sadza and the children who have lost their pillar of strength. May they derive comfort from our prayers and from the knowledge that the nation grieves with them.”
