Godwin Muzari, an entertainment editor for a zimbabwe Newspaper company, Herald has allegedly taken his life.
He was found hanging dead yesterday, Friday September 18, 2020 at his Retreat, Waterfalls, residence.

Bishop Muzari said,“He told me a number of personal and confidential issues, but I did not know that it would come to this. We did not see him from Monday and neither were we aware of his whereabouts until yesterday when I decided to check on him at his home. That was when I saw him hanging in a room,” said Bishop Muzari.
He described his younger brother as a cheerful person. “He was always jovial and we will dearly miss him,” he said.
Reacting to the news, Herald Editor-in-chief, Hatred Zenenga said, “It’s unbelievable that Muzari is no more. He had not been coming to work for a while and we started looking for him. He then showed up on Monday and Tuesday and then went away.
”We then got in touch with his sister who came for a meeting with us and we agreed he needed counselling. We immediately initiated the process, but little did we know Godwin had other ideas. What a loss. He was a brilliant writer. Our newsroom will be poorer without him,” said Zenenga.
He is survived by a wife and three children.
Godwin Muzari started his career as a reporter in 2006 when he joined Zimpapers as an intern.
He later worked at Herald as an Entertainment Reporter until 2009 when he briefly left.
Muzari returned as Entertainment Editor of The Herald in 2013 until his death.
