The senior City Press reporter’s passing has been confirmed by his niece.
Senior City Press journalist Ngwako Modjadi has passed away after being hit by a car in an alleged hit and run incident. Modjadji’s niece confirmed his death, telling The Citizen that it took place on Saturday and that she will be meeting with the family later. They will elect a family spokesperson to provide the media with full details.
EFF spokesperson Dr Mbuyiseni Ndlozi took to Twitter to offer his condolences to City Press and “the entire media community”, sentiments seemingly echoed through a retweet by the party’s leader, Julius Malema, who also replied to the tweet, expressing shock. The DA’s Mabine Seabe also tweeted his condolences, describing Modjadji as a “journalist of the highest integrity.”
