Pretoria – Thousands of people from Zimbabwe and from around the world flocked to the usually quiet town of Domboshava on Saturday to pay tribute to the flamboyant Harare businessman and socialite Genius “Ginimbi” Kadungure, who died last week in a car accident.
Kadungure, whose commercial presence extended to South Africa and Botswana, died on November 8 at the scene of the accident along Harare’s Legacy Way (formerly Borrowdale Road) in the early hours of the morning.
His towering R5 million Rolls-Royce Wraith crashed into an oncoming Honda Fit before it went off the road, crashed into a tree and caught fire.
Three other people who were with Kadungure on the Wraith were burned beyond recognition, but the body of the socialite was thrown out of the vehicle during the collision.
The three are popular Zimbabwean influencer and physical trainer Michelle Amuli, 26, better known as Moana, and Limumba Karim, a Malawian national wanted in her home country for gross fraud, and a Mozambican woman named only as “Eliseo ”.
The state-owned Sunday Mail newspaper reported that the little-known Domboshava settlement in Domboshava turned into a sea of expensive vehicles as the Who’s Who of Harare and beyond paid their last respects to high society.
Among the attendees were senior government officials, businessmen, celebrities and ordinary people.
Privately owned NewsDay reported that there was a “war” over Kadungure’s body as funeral homes rushed to topple the very popular figure in Zimbabwe and the Southern African Development Community (SADC) region.
The publication reported that the body was initially managed by Nyaradzo Life Assurance, but was later taken to the Doves Funerals room.
However, a family source told NewsDay that Ginimbi’s family had approached Nyaradzo first, but later found out that he had a policy with Doves in South Africa, operating as Zororo Phumulani, and that’s when they collected Nyaradzo’s body and they gave it to him. to Doves to handle everything.
Ginimbi was buried at his palatial home on Saturday in a personalized Versace casket with a medusa print.
The coffin was imported from South Africa, courtesy of its wealthy associates under the motto Friends of Ginimbi. The imposing high society mansion, complete with six furnished rooms, a fully equipped gym and a state-of-the-art cinema that seats 14, has the Versace logo on its opulent doors.
On Friday, an adrenaline rush was held for Limumba Karim, who was also known as Karim Cazal, in Johannesburg’s upscale business district, and attracted a variety of German and British Italian sports cars, SUVs and luxury sedans.
Speculation about the source of Ginimbi’s wealth has continued to dominate social media after his tragic death.
Official records reveal that the 36-year-old businessman was the founder and CEO of Pioneer Gases, a subsidiary of Piko Trading. Piko Trading is under its wings Rivonia Gases based in South Africa and Pula Gases based in Botswana.
