Zimbabweans mourn the death of Afropop musician Gary Mapanzure. The Zimbabwean music icon has sadly passed away this morning following his involvement in a car accident yesterday.
Mapanzure was reportedly involved in a fatal accident that killed two people. According to reports, Gary Mapanzure was in a critical condition.
The accident occurred in Masvingo on Thursday along the Beitbridge-Masvingo Highway when a vehicle turning into Clipsham Views residential area hit another coming from Beitbridge.
Mapanzure was in a vehicle and his sister was the driver. His nephew, his sisterβs son, died in the fatal crash. Pictures from the scene of the accident show the wreckage of a maroon Toyota Vitz vehicle. It was damaged beyond repair while a grey car it collided with was at a distance on the tarred road. The damage on the vehicles showed they should have collided head-on.
Some of Zimbabwean celebrites have already taken to social media pay tribute to one of their own. Check out the heartfelt messages below
