It is with great sadness that we have heard of the passing of Allan Wilson, Honorary Life Member of the Geological Society of Zimbabwe, a highly respected geologist, and sadly missed mentor, colleague, and passionate supporter of the Society.
Allan was a prominent geoscientist, widely recognised for his extensive research on the Great Dyke of Zimbabwe. His work significantly advanced the understanding of one of southern Africa’s most important geological features.
It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Martin Prendergast, Honorary Life Member of the Geological Society of Zimbabwe. Martin died peacefully in Dundee, Scotland, on 18 November 2025, following a courageous five-year battle with cancer. He was 76. His wife, Susan and his daughters, Miranda and Catriona were with him.
