About Derick

My name is Derick Matsengarwodzi, a versatile award-winning writer and editor, with a continental and global media experience. Currently, I am a communication consultant, working on campaigns to enhance the European Union’s visibility in Zimbabwe.

Over the years, I have gained international editorial and communication experience, while working with the Zimbabwe Congress of Trade Union (ZCTU), the United Nation Information Centre (UNIC) in Harare, and as a Korea-Africa Foundation (KAF) African Continent Correspondent. During that time, I crafted internal and external reports, statements, managing website and social media pages, including the design, editing and fact-checking of various documents.

As an editor, I use my global contacts and experience to get insights and data on current, trending issues, including the environment, mining, business, health, among others. To date, my work has created valuable, interactive content that seeks to transform global audiences in women’s rights, climate justice, healthcare, among others. Over the years, I have established a strong online footprint, crafting engaging, simplified content, relevant to different platforms.

Additionally, I have strengths in working and contributing to local, regional and international media, collaborating with different experts, and personalities from diverse backgrounds and cultures. In my role as editor, writer and consultant, I conduct research, brainstorm, manage creatives, manage campaign execution, edit and fact check.

The disease is often diagnosed late and with very few oncologists in public hospitals, most cancer patients lose their lives prematurely,” a 2019 report tabled by the cancer committee in Zimbabwe’s parliament revealed.

For the last few years, John has become accustomed to fielding urgent phone calls or messages at odd hours of the day. Typically, this leads to a conversation with a desperate client that ends with John sliding into his overalls, gathering his toolbox and makeshift wooden ladder, and hitting the road. His wife used to get anxious at his sudden callouts but is now used to them.

Edward saw it first. Thomas saw it second. I saw it last. Even though I was the last, I got the lion’s share. Edward came first, but he got nothing, and nearly lost his finger. Until this day, nearly four decades on, much of the episode has since evaporated from my memory. I only recall the most scandalous parts, because I was the biggest beneficiary.
