Janet worked closely with the Taskforce on Covid19 giving updates to the nation. She was good at her job. Highly professional. She will be sorely missed by those who knew her, worked with her and those who were touched by her work. Condolences to her family, friends & colleagues.

AB Communications chief executive Susan Makore, who is also a Commissioner with the Zimbabwe Media Commission, said:

“Devastating news. Such a huge loss. Janet was a hard-working senior journalist.”

Professor Solwayo Ngwenya who I based in the UK said;

Such a wonderful lady. She would interview me even from Harare. She would view my status on WhatsApp and comment. Absolutely devastated. Terrible. MHSRIP.

Information, Publicity and Broadcasting Services Minister Senator Monica Mutsvangwa described veteran ZBC reporter Janet Munyaka as an accomplished scribe

She said’

“On behalf of Government, I wish to express our heartfelt condolences to the Munyaka family, her workmates, the journalism fraternity, her friends and Zimbabweans in general. May you find solace and comfort in the good work that Janet did for her country.
