Condolence messages have started pouring in for Zimbabwean musician Garry Mapanzure born Garikai Munashe Mapanzure who died in the early hours of Friday 13 October 2023.

The “Wapunza” hitmaker was involved in a road traffic accident on the Beitbridge-Masvingo Highway in Masvingo on Thursday 12 October which claimed the lives of two more people and injured another one.

The accident occurred when a vehicle turning into Clipsham Views residential area collided with another vehicle coming from Beitbridge. Mapanzure was a passenger in the car driven by his sister, and sadly, his nephew (his sister’s son) lost his life immediately, while Mapanzure sustained critical injuries.

The accident also involved Langton Madima, a student from Great Zimbabwe University (GZU) and the President of the GZU Students Representative Council, who unfortunately died at the scene. Distressing images from the accident site revealed the mangled wreckage of a maroon Toyota Vitz vehicle, beyond repair, while the other vehicle involved, a grey car, was positioned further down the road.

Garry Mapanzure gained popularity with his 2017 single “Wapunza” featuring his brother Victor Mapanzure. He further released the single “Moyo Muti” in February 2018. Garry was selected for Mr Eazi’s #EMPAWA100 program after his song “Truth or Dare” gained attention. Through this program, he released the track “Slow.” In July 2019, Garry released the single “Your Man.” He later signed a deal with Runabeat Music in January 2020, which serves as an agency for reggae, dancehall, and afrobeats musicians.

The opposition Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) party wrote on X:

> We extend our deepest condolences to the Mapanzure family on the tragic loss of Garry Mapanzure, a talented musician who was only 25 years old. Mapanzure passed away due to severe injuries sustained in an accident in Masvingo. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family during this difficult time. May his soul rest in peace.

Journalist Hopewell Chin’ono also sent condolences to Garry Mapanzure’s family and highlighted the lack of an ICU ambulance in Masvingo, which prevented timely medical assistance. He emphasized that accidents are claiming lives due to the collapsed healthcare system in Zimbabwe. He added:

> We need a public healthcare system that works in order to save lives otherwise everyone of us can befall the same tragedy. Until this issue is resolved, many more will die unnecessarily. Rest in Peace Garry.

Tawona Shadaya had a word for everyone. He said

> The pressure y’all have to post about celebrities’ deaths, if only you did the same on their projects. On their pages, they will post their projects, be it albums, shows, tours, intervs, movies etc, they get few to no comments. But the day, he/she dies, you all flock to their pages with your sympathies, as if they will see them. The only things you’re enthusiastic to share besides their deaths, are their scandals. Give them their flowers whilst they’re alive, a CONGRATULATIONS means more than REST IN PEACE.
