The surviving family of the late Genius “Ginimbi” Kadungure, aka the “King of Bling,” said that after the terrible vehicle accident that took the lives of both Ginimbi and Moana four years ago, they complied with all customary duties, including extending their sympathies to Moana’s family.
Ishmael Amuli, the father of Moana, stated this week that he never got condolences following the loss of his daughter. Anderson Kadungure, Ginimbi’s father, denied these allegations in an interview with H-Metro.
“Hazvina munyati zvavari kutaura izvi. How can he say we did not pay our condolences to him?” Anderson questioned. “All those people they saw coming to them were officially from us, the Kadungure clan, saka zvakadhakwa zvavari kutaura izvo.”

“If it is said that we did not pay condolences to Moana’s father, that accusation will be a bit tricky, unless if we are being accused of not paying condolences to the Moana family,” Ginimbi’s cousin Darlington Kadungure continued.” I was a member of the group that was told to travel to Highfield and deliver the items they had requested so that we may attend the funerals together as a family. Moana’s mother lived there. After being called to the bodies at Parirenyatwa Hospital, I decided not to continue with this team. There was definitely payment made there.However, Moana’s parents were not a single family because it was said that they had split up. Therefore, while he may be correct that the father did not receive the condolence notes, Moana’s mother and her family may have”.
Anderson Kadungure added that the funeral costs were largely paid for by the Kadungure family. “We covered the cost of food, coffins, all examinations and testing, and laboratory identifications. As a family, we traveled to the hotel in Msasa to offer our condolences to the parents of the Mozambican girl. After speaking with them, we decided that we would cover all expenses up to the border between Zimbabwe and Mozambique. They offered to take care of the rest, which would relieve us of some of the strain because we would be carrying four bodies.

“My elder brother, Baba Melody, is the one who physically delivered the money for the condolences; he works at Ximex Mall there in town,” said Ginimbi’s other cousin, who wished to remain unidentified.
