Rest in peace Isabel

I work up this morning to be greeted by an unfamiliar e-mail, aptly titled, Isabel is dead. It was a mail from a female journalist friend of mine in Zambia who was announcing the death of Isabel Chimangeni, a chief reporter at the Times of Zambia, who died in London after a short illness. I was in the middle of preparing a visit to Lusaka and i was going to stay at her place. She was known to many Zambians around the world because of her journalistic profile. I had a chance to enjoy a piece of her profile last year when i visited former Zambian President Freddrick Chiluba at Milpark Hospital in Johannesburg, South Africa. I also had a good time with her at a Reporting Africa conference last year in June.
May her soul rest in peace.
