Media Institute of Southern Africa (MISA) Malawi saddened with the untimely death of Journalist Oscar Njikho.

Njikho died at Kamuzu Central Hospital in Lilongwe on Monday, September 11, 2023 after a long-term illness.

He had a stint with Star Radio (Now Timveni Radio) before pursuing a solo career that saw him working in different consultancies.

In a statement signed by MISA chairperson Golden Matonga,Njikho was in a team of local media practitioners who worked with MISA Zambia as Research Assistants in a Regional Trust in the Media research in 2020.

“This news is devastating for the journalism fraternity because Oscar was a young journalist who was yet to fully fulfill his enormous potential.

He was bright and talented, but personally, I will remember Oscar as a friend; a great human being who was sociable, and shared with me a passion for sports. He was as much a gifted footballer as he was a journalist,” MISA Malawi Chairperson Golden Matonga said.

Meanwhile vigil is in Chilinde (Newlines) and burial is on Wednesday at Chibazi in Dowa.
