Timeline
William Sylvester Saidi (8 May 1937 – 4 January 2017) was a Zimbabwean writer and journalist.
Among his friends and family he was commonly known as 'Bill' Saidi.
He died in Kitwe, Zambia after a long illness.
Saidi was born at St David's Mission in Chihota Tribal Trust Lands, south of Harare.
He grew up in the township of Mbare, where he attended school, and developed a passion for jazz and journalism.
He was the only son of Evelyn Chidzetse of Makawe village in Seke district, and an immigrant father Agonilepi Matola Saidi from Malawi.
He married twice, and divorced twice but each marriage produced three children.
Saidi was survived by his six children, and 15 grandchildren.
He began his journalism career in 1957 when he was 20 years old when he joined the African Daily News.
Eventually, he practiced his journalism in the twin countries of Zambia and Zimbabwe, where he is regarded in equal esteem for his contributions.
Saidi moved to Zambia when it achieved independence in 1964 and only returned to Zimbabwe at independence in 1980.
He first worked in the public media as editor.

-Who is Who in Zimbabwe (Roblaw Publishers, 1992)
Subsequently, he co-founded The Daily News, in 1999 with Geoffrey Nyarota and Davison Maruziva.
