Former Zimbabwe Broadcasting Corporation (ZBC) broadcaster Joseph Madhimba has died.

Media reports in Namibia say Madhimba died this morning in Windhoek after a long illness.

The veteran broadcaster, who became the face of News at ZBC for years after Zimbabwe’s independence, is said to have suffered a stroke last year and never recovered from it.

At the time of his death, Madhimba was a lecturer at the Namibia University of Science and Technology (NUST), formerly the Polytechnic of Namibia.
