FORMER Zimbabwe Union of Journalists (ZUJ) president Matthew Takaona has urged journalists to start finding smart ways of gathering news and try to avoid gatherings and workshops.
He was speaking to NewZimbabwe.com Friday in the wake of the Covid-19 death of ZUJ secretary general Foster Dongozi.
Dongozi, as secretary general of the journalist union, attended a number of workshops and had just attended another one in Gweru when he finally succumbed to the dreaded disease.
The virus has also claimed a few of some local journalists.
Takaona, who is the chairperson of Community Newspapers Association of Zimbabwe (CNAZ), was quick to caution against journalists attending gatherings.
