Je suis désespéré de voir que ce pionnier nous quitte.
Il a été et est un exemple à suivre pour tous nos amis aquaculteurs africains.
Son humilité, sa gentillesse, son bon jugement, sa sincérité m’ont vraiment marqué.
Sa dévotion à mettre sur pied Chicoa a été sans pareil.
Je regrette de n’avoir pas pu passer plus de temps à ses côtés.
Salutations à sa famille.
Dear All - Sarnissa members,
We are terribly saddened to announce the death of Mr Robin Nyagato, our farm manager at
Chicoa Fish Farm, Lake Cahora Bassa, Mozambique.
Robin was probably the aquaculturist with the longest experience in Southern Africa and
beyond. A short biography written by my partner Gerry McCollum is here below.
For all of those form Lake Harvest and elsewhere, now spread in the whole of Africa who
have known him, Robin has certainly left a memory of a very good person, entirely
dedicated to his aquaculture passion.
Robin is and will remain a pioneer of the aquaculture development in Africa and most of
all, a dear friend to a lot of us!
Dear Colleagues,
It is with great sadness that we inform you of the death of Robin. He died this morning,
surrounded by his family, of complications from pneumonia. We have lost a dear friend of
many years and the Chicoa family have lost their favourite uncle. Robin Chipo Nyagato was
born in 1949 in Nyanga area of Eastern Zimbabwe. He began working at Chingamwe Estate in
1969, where he was introduced to Trout farming. He moved to RIBI, which would become
Cairns Foods, in 1974 and was promoted to Farm Manager. There he managed not only the
trout, but orchards and stone fruits. In 1987, Robin moved to Kariba, with Cairns Foods,
to what was to become Lake Harvest. It was there that he began his career in the Tilapia
industry. As Farm Manager Robin was instrumental in establishing the first large scale
tilapia cage farm in Africa. With this wealth of experience, Robin joined Chicoa Fish Farm
in 2015. He built the cage farm from scratch, spending the early months camped in a tent
overlooking the breeding stock and hatchery. Robin was one of the kindest, wisest and most
honourable people we have had the privilege of knowing. He did have the finest instincts
for fish and their needs with rearing.
Robin is survived by his wife Angela and his children Samantha, David, Misheck, Maria,
Judith, Margaret and Grace. Our condolences go to his family on their great loss.

Best regards
On behalf of Chicoa Fish Farm team,
Damien
