IS THIS SEAT TAKEN? CONVERSATIONS AT THE BAR, THE SIDE-BAR, THE BENCH & THE ACADEMY

It was saddening, indeed shocking, when I received a text message on a Sunday morning about the passing of Professor Haroub Othman.

Stakeholders met on July 1 in Harare to discuss Zimbabwe’s external debt, which threatens the welfare of its citizens who have been ravaged by a deep social, economic and political crisis.

I have just received very sad and shocking news from Zanzibar. Our beloved Professor, Horoub Othman, passed away in his sleep. The last time I saw him was three weeks ago when we travelled together to the the third European Conference on African Studies, as usual he looked healthy and composed.
