Modus Media Executives Meet Mnangagwa After "Rest In Peace" Error In Birthday Message

Daily News editor Guthrie Munyuki and executives from Modus Media, the publishers of both the Daily News and the Financial Gazette, met with President Emmerson Mnangagwa, Defence Minister Oppah Muchinguri, and Central Intelligence Organisation (CIO) chief Isaac Moyo at State House on Friday to personally apologize for an advertisement that mistakenly suggested the President was dead.

On Thursday, September 19, The Financial Gazette published an advertisement from the Zimbabwe Defence Forces congratulating Mnangagwa on his birthday, but it erroneously concluded with the phrase, “May his soul rest in eternal peace.”

The Daily News issued an apology on Friday, explaining that the mistake was due to a production error.

Later that day, George Charamba, Deputy Chief Secretary for Presidential Communications in the Office of the President and Cabinet, said Mnangagwa was satisfied with the explanation provided by the Modus Media executives.

According to Charamba, in a light-hearted moment, Mnangagwa humorously asked them, “Where are the flowers for the dead man?”

Charamba also shared a letter of apology from Munyuki, addressed to Aaron Nhepera, the permanent secretary for the Ministry of Defence, dated September 19. Read the letter:

The Financial Gazette, published a birthday congratulatory message to President Emmerson Mnangagwa by the Zimbabwe Defence Forces (ZDF) with a serious error in its edition of this week.

At the end of the ZDF birthday message, and through lapses in the production process, the newspaper ended up carrying mortifyingly wrong words instead of saying ‘MAKOROKOTO, AMHLOPE, CONGRATULATIONS!’

We apologise profusely to President Mnangagwa, his family, his office, the government and to the ZDF for the anguish and inconvenience that this inadvertent mistake caused.

We have taken action to strengthen our internal systems to ensure that this kind of error never occurs again.

Once again, we would like to apologise for this error profusely.

The meeting at State House took place following an incident early Friday morning when unidentified gunmen, claiming to be law and order police, raided Munyuki’s home in Harare but did not find him.

These alleged gunmen, reportedly in two vehicles—a Toyota Fortuner and a Toyota Hilux—temporarily confiscated the phones of Munyuki’s wife and children and searched through their messages.

Mistakes in advertisements are common in Zimbabwean newspapers. This is often due to advertising staff using old templates for regular clients, making only minor adjustments to the text.

It seems that the Daily News staff mistakenly used a condolence message but forgot to replace the phrase “May His Soul Rest in Eternal Peace” with the celebratory phrases “Makorokoto, Amhlope, Congratulations!”

Happy birthday to you sir today,,,, Yes how old are you now. Tomorrow Rest in Road to peace you may fail to reach peace Celebrate he is gone good he caused us to suffer now he is no more its time This is the news when have kicked the bucket. Like what happened to rob. Celebration and celeb from all corners of the country and world over it mean that you were a hero of lifetime and you have no action upon death. Let me say understand the story of Lazarus and the king then be a better person today. Try to correct you self today before death reaps you. I myself am leaving my badload now so that when death comes people mourn on the good path I would have left to them

In most people's minds the president died in 2017 when the army shot dead some demonstrators.Only a dead President can do that.It is true the president is indeed dead as his gvt officials are mercilessly looting our resources without any restraint.Its only a dead President who wines and dines with criminals,brutally suppresses the opposition members, superintends over the general economic decline:the poor becoming poorer by each passing day... So yes the President is dead and may his dear soul rest in peace.
