He died on Thursday at Mwaiwathu Private Hospital in Blantyre where he was admitted after coming in the country from India where he went for a second kidney transplant.

Moya, first flew to India in 2014 for a kidney transplant after some well wishers raised about K10 million.

Speaking to YFM, at the burial ceremony, Times Group Chief Editor, George Kasakula, said his death is a huge loss to the media profession.

In his career as a journalist, late Moya has worked for National Publications Limited (NPL), Times Group and Malawi News Agency (MANA).

He was born on August 28 1968 and is survived by a wife and four children.
