Controversial socialite Olinda Chapel and Mskana wekuMasvingo (Faffie Danish) have publicly criticized Zimbabwean musicians for their absence at the funeral of late singer Garry Mapanzure.
The lack of support from fellow artists has sparked outrage and disappointment among fans and the public.
Garry Mapanzure, known for his hit song "Wapunza," tragically lost his life in a fatal car crash on the Masvingo-Beitbridge highway. Alongside him, his friend Langton Mandima and his 3-month-old nephew Kai Mapanzure also perished in the accident.

Garry passed away at Masvingo Provincial Hospital the following day.
During the funeral service, emotions ran high as Garry's sister highlighted the poor healthcare system in Zimbabwe, which she believes contributed to her brother's untimely death. Garry's wife sang a heart-wrenching song, "Makanaka Jesu," while mourners paid their respects.
However, the absence of most Zimbabwean musicians was glaringly evident at the funeral. Only Hillzy and Mr Candy were present, while others were noticeably absent despite previously posting about Garry on their social media platforms.
Olinda Chapel took to Facebook to express her disappointment, questioning why her colleagues in the music industry failed to show up to support Garry in his final moments. She called out their previous social media posts with Garry as mere attempts to gain clout.
Online reactions mirrored Olinda's sentiments, with many Zimbabweans expressing their disappointment and frustration towards the absent musicians. However, some individuals defended the artists, acknowledging that they may have had prior commitments or were unable to attend due to overseas engagements.
The incident has sparked a discussion about how artists choose to pay tribute and support one another during difficult times. While some praised Hillzy and Mr Candy for their presence at the funeral, others criticized those who only offered tributes on social media without physically attending the service.
