Friends of the late socialite and businessman Genius ‘Ginimbi’ Kadungure have come to his defense and rubbished social media claims that Ginimbi used juju to make money and accumulate wealth.
This comes after various conspiracy theories that have been going viral on social regarding how he accumulated his wealth and how he died.
However, his friends penned a public letter setting the record straight and slammed people who were spreading rumors about his life. They argued that Ginimbi was a hard worker who accumulated his wealth through his business acumen
One of his closest friends, Brian Nyanyiwa who spoke to a local publication Zimeye said that he worked with Ginimbi from scratch and he fully understood how the late socialite accumulated his wealth.
He said Ginimbi was focused and determined to make it in life and would not let anyone come between him and his vision, although he had his ups and downs.
“I worked with Ginimbi from scratch and he was doing well with his business from the start and he started rising to fame.”
“So, what people are saying that he used juju are lies meant to discredit him even in his death,” he said
Another friend, Tazvi Mhaka, popularly known as Chief Joze, said Ginimbi was an inspiration to many youths, and alluding that he used juju would be unfair since he was a businessman many youths looked up to.
“What would the young generation think when people are saying things like these were gotten through juju.” “Ginimbi was a hard worker and an inspiration to many people in the country. They must not think that every rich man’s source of wealth is juju,” said Mhaka.
Another friend, Tino Tumbare, said rubbished claims that Ginimbi had already prepared for his funeral and that he had been keeping a coffin at his mansion.
“People should not be misled into believing those rumors.”
“It is false that Ginimbi had prepared for his funeral arrangements and there is nothing like that. These are just rumors that there is a coffin in his house,” he said.
