Chibwe, 36, failed to negotiate a curve at the Avondale Shopping Centre, exited the travel lane and struck a guardrail, causing the vehicle to overturn twice before striking a tower light. He died on the spot. Â
Chibwe played a prominent role in defence of Zimbabwe’s banned leading daily newspaper, the Daily News. He also represented several journalists who often found themselves in problems with the law.
“We have lost a comrade, a colleague, friend and brother who radiated warmth and camaraderie to those who knew and associated with him,” said a statement from ZLHR. Â
Chibwe is survived by his wife Ruth and three children. A family spokesperson said Chibwe’s burial would take place in his rural home in Zaka. – Chief reporter
