All Mourners To Wear All White For Ginimbi's Funeral
The family of Zimbabwean socialite and businessman, Genius Ginimbi Kadungure, has said all mourners who will attend the funeral 36-year-old who died on Sunday will have to wear white.
Ginimbi died in a horrific road accident that also claimed the lives of his three friends after his Rolls Royce was involved in a head-on collision along Borrowdale road before veering off the road and hitting a tree on the sideways.
He is expected to be buried this Saturday at on Saturday in his yard in Domboshava, “as he wished to.” Ginimbi’s eldest sister, Juliet told The Herald in an interview that her brother used to tell them that he wanted a huge send-off. She said:
Genius was a fun-loving character. He always reminded us about how he wanted his funeral to be conducted. In fact, he had a plan and always said “ndiri big”, so make sure on my funeral, you do not hurriedly bury me.
Take time, planning for it. Check my requirements well and one of the things is that I want everyone who will be at my funeral to be dressed in all white, no matter who. Please, make sure you emphasise that, remember, I am an all-white guy. The all-white should be on the day of burial.
He would say, make sure you get in touch with my other friends abroad and wait for them to come. That is why we are saying for now the funeral will begin on Thursday and for now people are gathered at our father’s residence which is 400 metres away from Ginimbi’s mansion.
Juliet also urged the public to respect “us and avoid spreading malicious rumours” adding that all the official information would come from the family spokesperson, Clement Kadungure.
Juliet also dismissed as false reports saying the family was barring people from mourning Ginimbi at his mansion.
As for the future of the house, Juliet said Ginimbi always wished for his house to be turned into a museum or a hotel upon his demise.
Meanwhile, the chief executive officer of Ginimbi’s G4K security company, Dr Peter Gwaza, said some people were coming with the intention of stealing Ginimbi’s property.
