Masvingo-based comedian David Mubaiwa,
popularly known as Sabhuku Vharazipi, has dismissed rumours to the effect that
he had died in a road traffic accident, TellZim News can report.
The social media
hoax, which began circulating on WhatsApp today, November 12, claimed that
Mubaiwa had died ‘on the road to Bulawayo when a Honda CRV he was travelling in
collided with a truck’.
“These are all falsehoods
being spread by people with malicious intent. I don’t even know what the people
circulating those insensitive rumours want to achieve. This is not the first
time this has happened as I also suffered similar falsehoods a few years ago,”
Mubaiwa told TellZim News by phone.
He said he was
alive and well at his home in the Zvamahande communal lands in Mashava.
Mubaiwa also said
he will continue to do the work he loves to do and ignore all the malicious
talk.
