News of Ginimbi’s death has trended on Zimbabwe social media since it broke early morning. The socialite died in a high speed car accident after the Rolls Royce he was traveling in with 3 friends collided with a Honda Fit and then smashed into some trees. Ginimbi was thrown out and reportedly died on the spot. The car burst into flames and the other occupants also lost their lives in the car.

Here are some reactions from Zimbabweans on social media:

Josey Mahachie: Just watched Madam Boss’ live on Facebook and to think that an eye witness says Ginimbi was actually alive, tried to open the Rolls Royce doors to save the girls whilst they knocked burning alive until he ran short of breath is heartbreaking

Happi Zengeni: Ideally Rolls Royce should be sending a team over to investigate how their car can burn like that after colliding with a Honda fit and the impact of hitting a tree. Otherwise it’s quite easy to go with conspiracy theories at this stage.
We were still at school but even Mitsubishi spoke about the Peter Pamire accident back then. Every car maker should ideally do this. This is loss of future business to RR.

mmatigari: Sad to hear of the passing on of Ginimbi. Pasi hariguti imiwee. Boyz raizipirwa, so they made the best of the time God provided.

Mduduzi Mathuthu:Could Mnangagwa’s curfew have saved both Cal_Vin and Genius? Yes, if it had been complied with. That’s a conversation to be had, as insensitive as it might come across.

JoyJoy: So unsettling how in Zimbabwe, there is rapid response to throw teargas on civilians, fully kitted security forces to inflict fear and pain, but no fire brigade can respond with the same swiftness. In the city even.

Cde Never Maswerasei: Dear Zimbabwe: This is what I have learnt from Ginimbi’s sudden death:
1. Try & live happily 2day becoz 2moro isn’t guaranteed.
2. Don’t drive &/or speed especially after a night out.
3. If you’re rich let yr pvt medic team follow you around.
4. Our system is broken. MHSRIP.

MG Muzenda: No emergency services on sight. The accident scene wasn’t cordoned off. People were taking photos and videos. No one stopped them. The police had to use a bystander’s tools to open the car. Zimbabwe will rob you of dignity even in death.
