The South African Communist Party has learnt with great sadness the untimely death of Ngwako Modjadji, senior journalist at the City Press. The SACP expresses its sincerest, heartfelt condolences to the Modjadji family, Ngwako’s colleagues and the media fraternity for this great loss. Ngwako worked for several media houses before joining the City Press. He distinguished himself and was fearless in his reportage, working without favour or prejudice.

South Africa has been robbed of a great professional and humble gentleman through reckless driving. Ngwako passed away on Saturday, 4 May 2019, after a hit and run incident, confirmed a family member with The Citizen, a newspaper he worked for before. The SACP calls on the Police to swiftly hunt down and bring to book the perpetrator.
