John Mwazemba, the affable, full of laughter and full of life publishing manager of Macmillan Kenya Publishers, is leaving the firm after 7 years four of which he served at the helm of the department.
Mwazemba, perhaps the most read of publishing managers in the country in the past 4 years, is credited with revitalising Macmillan especially its 'Breakthrough' and 'Golden Tips' revision series.
Those who have worked with Mwazemba, including yours truly, agree that he is one loyal employee - and he loves reading and editing to the death!
As Mwazemba leaves, Macmillan will be hard-pressed to find a successor with as much visibility in the press as Mwazemba. He was a regular contributor to The Standard and The EastAfrican where he signed off as "Publishing Manager, Macmillan Kenya Publishers" and in a way marketed the firm.
Mwazemba is joining the African Economic Research Consortium as Technical editor.
We wish Mwazemba the best of whatever lies ahead.
