Ray Nkosi | Rumours spreading that renowned author Charles Mungoshi has died are not true.

Mungoshi’s family confirmed with 263 Chat, “We have just confirmed with the Mungoshi family that news of Charles Mungoshi’s death is in fact UNTRUE cc #263Chat #Twimbos.”

Mungoshi recently made an urgent appeal for $9 000 for a repeat operation after doctors inserted a shunt to drain water from his brain last year. The shunt was not working so liquid was building up in his skull putting pressure on his brain.

His wife Jesesi Mungoshi told Zimbojam that the operation needs to be done as quickly as possible. Mrs Mungoshi with the help of her sister Fungisai Siggins, Zimbojam, University of Zimbabwe lecturer Memory Chirere together with family and friends are working to raise the money needed. – Agencies
