Executive Director of the Jesuit Centre for Theological Reflection (JCTR), Fr Alexander Muyebe has died aged 56 following a short illness.
Fr. Leonard Chiti from the Society of Jesus in Southern Africa has confirmed the development in a statement, saying Fr Muyebe was a dedicated member of the Southern Africa Province of the Society of Jesus and faithfully served as a priest for 21 years.
Fr. Chiti disclosed that Fr. Muyebe led JCTR over the past four years, during which time he became a beacon of hope, advocating for the rights of the marginalized and tirelessly working for social justice across Zambia.
“His leadership was marked by a profound commitment to faith, justice and intellectual engagement with critical societal issues, which strengthened JCTR’s impact in policy advocacy and public engagement,” said Fr. Chiti in a statement issued to RCV News in Lusaka today.
Fr. Chiti has since extended condolences to Fr. Muyebe’s family, friends and colleagues at the JCTR on behalf of the Southern Africa Province.
