A young University of Zambia graduate, Jotham Likomeno, has died only a few months after completing his degree and beginning his career in the media industry.
According to the Zambia Daily Mail, Likomeno died in the early hours of today at Kabwe General Hospital, with his family confirming his death.
Likomeno, who graduated from the University of Zambia last year with a degree in Media and Journalism, had only recently begun building the career he had worked towards during his time at the university.
The Zambia Daily Mail described him as a calm, quiet and respectful young man from Chavuma who was fondly known as “the Servant” among his friends at UNZA.
Following his graduation, Likomeno began working with the Zambia News and Information Services (ZANIS), where he presented the Zango ya Valuvale programme.
He later took another step into broadcasting and digital media by launching his own podcast, as he continued pursuing his passion for journalism and communication.
