The always-vibrant socialite and popular fuel trader, Genius Ginimbi Kadungure who commanded respect through his wealth that he has been flaunting on social media is dead.
The Zimbabwean trader was returning home to Domboshava at around 5 AM after celebrating his friend’s birthday when according to witnesses, his expensive Rolls Royce Wraith had a head-on collision with a blue Honda Fit on Borrowdale Road on Sunday morning.
The 36-year-old rich socialite that used to cross paths with the likes of Zari Hassan and Huddah Monroe was thrown off the vehicle and died on the scene after his Rolls Royce veered off the road and smashed into the tree instantaneously catching fire.
Genius “Ginimbi” Kadungure was in the company of three friends identified as; Karim Limumba, Alichia Adams, and Moana who was celebrating her birthday.
Witnesses said the three friends of the flamboyant, rich socialite were burnt beyond recognition inside the Rolls Royce.
Guys it’s time to go out, it’s gonna be going down. We’re going to Dreams (nightclub) in the next few minutes, it’s gonna be going down. It’s Moana’s birthday, we’re going to pop champagne, it’s gonna be champagne showers tonight, see you there.
It’s reported that the driver and the passenger inside the Honda Fit escaped the horrific accident with minor injuries. The car itself had damages on the front right side with the engine completely torn apart from the collision.
Police said the crash is under investigation.
Danny Kuwanga, a witness who was the first on the accident scene said Kadungure was speeding prior to the accident.
“It happened in front of my eyes. He was speeding. He first overtook me and as he tried to overtake a second vehicle, that’s when he crashed into the Honda Fit driving the opposite way,” Kuwanga said.
Danny Kuwanga added that he was joined by three other men and they pulled Kadungure away from the vehicle which was now a fireball.
“The girls didn’t make it out. They were just crying inside the burning car. We couldn’t do anything,” he added.
The last song the late Kadungure was jamming to in his Rolls Royce Wraith worth $500,000 on Instagram live was ‘Hello’ by Kabza de Small and DJ Maphorisa.
