(JUST IN): Coronavirus kills 30-year-old top African broadcast journalist

A popular broadcast journalist has kicked the bucket through the deadly Coronavirus that continues to claim thousands of lives across the globe.

The late spread of the COVID-19 in Africa isn’t a yardstick for authorities to slow their actions towards clamping down on its impact.

The death of the Zimbabwean broadcaster – Zororo Makamba, 30 has been described as an unfortunate turn of events.

Makamba had a high profile as a broadcaster who was affiliated with a wealthy family.

He tested positive to Coronavirus on Saturday, and his condition worsened at a faster rate after he was admitted to an isolation centre in Zimbabwe’s capital, Harare.

With COVID-19 records in Africa, Egypt holds the record of the highest infected nation with a high death toll as well.
