He started formal schooling at Kasaba Mission and, in 1978, completed his secondary education at St. Clement’s. His dream of becoming a Catholic priest was frustrated when, barely a few weeks before he was to be ordained a deacon in his fifth year of training, his superiors imposed an indefinite probation on him.
In 1982, not too daunted by the turn of events, Mwange became a class teacher at St. Charles Lwanga and Lubushi Junior Seminaries, respectively. He then pursued a journalistic path at Mindolo Ecumenical Foundation in Kitwe and set out to become one of the most distinguished and respected Zambian-born journalists of his generation. In recognition of his contribution to journalism in Africa, the International Network of Young Journalists (INYJ) conferred on Mwange the prestigious Journalist of the Year Award for Africa, in Geneva, Switzerland, in 1989.
Mwange worked both in his home country, Zambia, and Botswana as a features writer, editor, content designer, and media consultant. He traveled extensively around the globe.
Mwange died at the age of forty-six and is survived by his wife, Pamela, and three children.view less
