<p>A prominent Zimbabwean writer, actor and teacher, David Mungoshi, brother to the late Charles died on Saturday aged 71.</p>
<p>His death comes barely a year after the death of his brother Charles who was also a great writer. Speaking to New Zimbabwe, Memory Chirere, who worked closely with Mungoshi and David’s late brother, Charles said Mungoshi’s death was huge blow to the arts industry. Said Chirere:</p>
<blockquote><p>As we mourn David, we also celebrate his life because he has been in our midst, he was a good friend, joyful, generous, kind, and extremely intelligent. What makes his death more painful is to those of us who know him is that it comes barely a year after the passing on of his brother Charles.</p>
<p>We are deeply saddened by passing away of David Mungoshi. Mungoshi was a brilliant writer who was will to share his expertise with upcoming and established writers.</p></blockquote>

PICTURES: Veteran Author And Publisher, Mungoshi Burial

<p>With the passing of Oliver Mtukudzi last month, and then this month Charles Mungoshi, Zimbabweans have been calling for the recognition of individuals that have contributed significantly to the country. Turns out, besides being declared a National Hero after one is dead, awards already exist to honour these people while they live.</p>
<p>From Bulawayo based Paul Hubbard who specialises in historical-archaeological tours:</p>
<blockquote><p>With the calls about better acknowledging heroes in <span class="hash">#</span><span class="link-complex-target">Zimbabwe</span>, why is there no reference to these awards specifically created to honour those with amazing accomplishments in the service of others. I wonder how many have been given to civilians outside of our govt &amp; ruling party.</p></blockquote>

<p>President Mnangagwa has sent condolence messages to the Mungoshi family following the death of prolific writer Charles Lovemore Mungoshi.</p>
<p>President Mnangagwa said the death of Mungoshi came as a heavy blow to the arts industry and to the nation as a whole. Said Mnangagwa:</p>
<blockquote><p>We owe it to the prominent writers like the late Charles Mungoshi that Zimbabwe today stands tall as a literary nation. On behalf of our nation, Government and on my behalf, I wish to express my heartfelt condolences to the Mungoshi family, and in particular, to Amai Jesesi Mungoshi and the children, on this their saddest loss. In Charles, they have lost a dear husband, a loving father, a caring guardian and a creative mentor who greatly inspired and gently nursed and nudged creative talent in the big artistic Mungoshi family, and in the fraternity of writers by whom he will be sorely missed. May his soul rest in eternal peace.</p></blockquote>

Mnangagwa Mourns Charles Mungoshi

<p>The Zimbabwe Writers Association (ZWA), through the National Arts Council of Zimbabwe (NACZ), has requested that the government confer the hero status on the late prolific writer Charles Mungoshi who passed away at Parirenyatwa Hospital at the age of 71.</p>
<p>ZWA chairperson Monica Zodwa Cheru-Mupambwashe confirmed that her assocoation has approached NACZ. She said:</p>
<blockquote><p>In my capacity as the Zimbabwe Writers Association chairperson, I formally communicated the request to the National Arts Council of Zimbabwe on Saturday. I would personally want to see Charles Mungoshi recognised at such levels.</p>
<p>His writings are a valuable, intangible cultural heritage in so far as he captured facets of our traditions, the changes wrought by time and made us question our definition of our self-identity with characters like his iconic Lucifer.</p></blockquote>

PICTURES: Remembering Mungoshi.

<p>Renowned Zimbabwean novelist, Charles Mungoshi died yesterday at 71. Mungoshi wrote both in Shona and English and he’s remembered for such titles as <em><strong>‘Waiting for the Rain’ </strong></em>and<em><strong> ‘<i>Ndiko Kupindana Kwemazuva</i>.’</strong></em></p>
<p>Some prominent Zimbabweans have sent in their condolences:</p>
<p>Prominent writer, Tsitsi Dangarembga:</p>
<blockquote><p>I receive the news of Charles Mungoshi’s death with deep sorrow, yet at the same time am thankful for the life of a master of his art, a fearless observer of society whose work here has been completed. Condolences to Jesesi Mungoshi, his family, and the Zimbabwean nation.</p></blockquote>
<p> </p>
<p>Prominent Constitutional Lawyer and writer, Alex Magaisa:</p>
<blockquote><p>Another month and another sad loss to the nation, as news filters in that the great author, Charles Mungoshi has died.</p>
<p>Mungoshi is one of my literary heroes and news of his death is a hard blow. I was first introduced to his work in secondary school – one of his books was a set-book for our literature class. I read it over and over again, till I could recite some of its most memorable lines.</p></blockquote>
<p> </p>
<p>Former Deputy Prime Minister and writer, Arthur Mutambara:</p>
<blockquote><p>A literary giant has fallen. The creative industry, literature and the Zimbabwean nation have lost a pillar. The influence of Mungoshi’s work cuts across generations, continents and cultures.</p>
<p>As we mourn him, let us address the contradictions and disconnects in the political economy of the publishing industry, and the creative industry in general, that short-change our artists and writers</p></blockquote>
<p> </p>
<p>Prominent Journalist, Brezhnev Malaba:</p>
<blockquote><p>Charles Mungoshi’s creative genius &amp; versatility inspired a generation of readers&amp;writers. Coming Of The Dry Season,to me,is his seminal text. I’ll never stop marvelling at how Mungoshi would pen a Shona novel this year &amp; win a top award;write in English next yr &amp; win again!RIP.</p></blockquote>
<p> </p>
<p>Writer, Takura Zhangazha:</p>
<blockquote><p>Ah, Charles Mungoshi, thank you for the consciousness.</p></blockquote>
