Died in 2003

Patrick Fani Chakaipa was born on 25 June 1932 in Mhondoro and did his secondary studies at the Catholic mission of St Michael. He wrote five novels in Shona, combining adventure, the stock of folk tales and moral lessons. Ordained a priest in 1965, auxiliary bishop of Salisbury in 1972, he was appointed archbishop in 1976, the first African of that rank in the country, and held the see, which became that of Harare in 1982, until his death on 8 April 2003 in Harare.
