The accident also claimed the life of Langton Madima, a student from Great Zimbabwe University and the President of the GZU Students Representative Council, who unfortunately died at the scene. Distressing images from the accident site showcased the irreparably damaged maroon Toyota Vitz vehicle, while the grey car involved in the collision was positioned farther down the road.

Garry Mapanzure rose to prominence with his 2017 single "Wapunza," featuring his brother Victor Mapanzure. He continued to captivate listeners with his 2018 single "Moyo Muti." His song "Truth or Dare" caught the attention of Mr Eazi's #EMPAWA100 program, leading to the release of the track "Slow." In July 2019, Garry released the single "Your Man" and later signed a deal with Runabeat Music in January 2020, an agency for reggae, dancehall, and afrobeats musicians.

Beyond his musical career, Garry ventured into the world of fashion and launched his clothing line, African Sushi Wear, in 2021. The line offers various products, including T-shirts, hoodies, and sweaters, available for purchase through his online store.

This tragic accident marks the third heart-wrenching incident to profoundly impact the people of Zimbabwe this week. Only yesterday, Ashley Musendekwa, a talented Upper Sixth pupil and deputy head boy of St. George's College, lost his life in a devastating car crash along Harare Drive in Mt Pleasant, Harare. The collision occurred when the vehicle he was driving collided head-on with a Koala Park Abattoir truck, resulting in his immediate demise.

The loss of Garry Mapanzure leaves a void in the Zimbabwean music industry, and his talent and contributions will be sorely missed by fans and loved ones alike.
