Tatenda Pinjisi Car Accident | Zimbabwe Sungura Star Tatenda Pinjisi Dies in Norton Car Crash
A heartbreaking video of musician Tatenda Pinjisi (34), who passed away on Sunday at Sally Mugabe Central Hospital from injuries he got in an accident near the Norton Tollgate on Friday while on his way to Kadoma for a show, has left many people heartbroken. In the video, Pinjisi can be heard asking for Pain-eeze, a medicine commonly used to relieve mild to moderate pain and fever.
It was also reported that the hospital had no electricity at the time, and nurses had to use their phones to illuminate the room.
Confirmed reports indicate that Saina hitmaker Tatenda Pinjisi has passed away. He was involved in a tragic accident yesterday while traveling to Kadoma with his band. Sadly, the band’s bassist died on the spot, and Tatenda succumbed to his injuries later that night.

Not with guns. Not with poison. But with neglect, indifference, and a system so rotten it has forgotten the value of a human life. He cried out in pain, begging his family for painkillers not because they were out of reach, but because in the very facility meant to heal, there was nothing. No medicine. No dignity. No hope.
Let this be a warning to those who are being handed posh cars as rewards for silence — if you crash on these roads, your death is guaranteed. Because the ambulances won’t come. The hospitals won’t help. The money meant to save your life is buying your car instead. And the rest is being siphoned to foreign bank accounts by cowards in suits who call themselves leaders.
Rest in power, Tatenda.
