JOHANNESBURG – Senior political reporter at City Press Ngwako Modjadi has been described as a fearless journalist with a sterling work ethic following his death in an alleged hit-and-run incident on Saturday night in Soweto.

He joined City Press in 2018 and was currently part of the publication’s core team reporting on politics.
