Geoffrey Zigoma was a Malawian gospel musician and songwriter.[1][2] He was the first to break local music sales’ record by selling over 100,000 copies in Malawi, but was later surpassed by Mlaka Maliro’s Dzanja Lalemba (The Hand Has Written) which sold over 131,000 copies in four months.[1] He was also an outspoken advocate for albinos in Malawi and faced discrimination.[3][4] His last album, Ndathera mwa Yesu (I have ended in Jesus), features songs that talk about his battle against skin cancer.[1]
