Mr. Djokotoe succumbed to a long battle against colorectal cancer on August 17, 2022 shortly before midnight at Fairview Hospital in Lusaka.
He was an accomplished media trainer, journalist and poet who groomed many scribes in Zambia and beyond during his engagement at Evelyn Hone College, ZAMCOM and The Post Newspaper LTD.

May the soul of our dear departed mentor, friend, lecturer and colleague rest in eternal peace.
