The gentleman of journalism. Sleep well my brother, legend and the master of turning the phrase. @giftphiri lived his life the way he wanted and he wrote his stories the way the people respected. Words are loved in heaven. Keep writing my man. RIP pic.twitter.com/pW236djC59

I am very saddened by the passing on of Gift Phiri, a passionate and outstanding journalist. Indeed a gift to our nation. From him, I learnt that a good journalist makes his biggest story from attempted answers to carefully thought out questions. MHSRIP.

1. Saddened to hear that one of the country’s finest journalists of our time, Gift Phiri is no more. I worked with Givy for a long time, he was my News Editor at the Daily News and I must say he was one of the most hard working journalists I have ever come across. pic.twitter.com/tlwo8XFFxu

I am very sad to hear the news of Gift Phiri's death. I deal with journalists around the world. Gift was up there with the very best. ZImbabwe should be proud they had him. And a true gentleman whenever we met. A total professional. And always kind. I shall miss this man. pic.twitter.com/qRez4cMuD3
