It is said that the two journalists have left behind a legacy for many media professionals to follow.
The South African government on Monday joined the media fraternity and the public in general in expressing its deep sadness following the passing away of journalists Ngwako Modjadji and Sefako Nyaka.
Nyaka was a veteran journalist and worked for a number of years at the South African Broadcasting Corporation and other media houses. He joined the public service in 1994 and served as a government communicator. “In this regard, our country has been robbed of great professionals and journalists, who through their work, were committed to make South Africa a thriving democracy and better place. Our hearts go to their families, friends and media colleagues,” Williams said.
The South African National Editors’ Forum on Sunday also expressed deep sadness at the untimely deaths of the journalists.
