Zimbabwe officials say pain medication shortages did not cause singer Tatenda Pinjisi to die. Government spokesman Nick Mangwana addressed public anger after seeing a video where Pinjisi begged for painkillers. He wrote online that fatal crash injuries killed the musician near Norton last Friday. The accident took three lives immediately, including two band members. Pinjisi died Sunday from these severe injuries.

Mangwana insisted that hospital staff gave the singer strong painkillers through the muscles and veins. He rejected claims that a lack of medicine led to the singer's death. When people criticized his comments as cold, he defended his medical explanation. Mangwana visited Gokwe District Hospital to check supplies personally and posted pictures showing available medicines at the facility.

The spokesman suggested head injuries might have confused Pinjisi during the recording. He said brain trauma can make patients request things that seem needed but might not match what doctors see. Medical professionals follow their training rather than viral videos when treating patients. Many social media users remain upset about healthcare quality despite these explanations. The case sparked nationwide debate about hospital conditions across Zimbabwe.
