Sungura legend Nicholas Zakaria got buried at Chavhakaira Village in Chiweshe following Islamic funeral practices, and the whole thing blew up online after people saw videos of him getting laid to rest wrapped in a white cloth instead of staying in the casket. The 68-year-old musician died after dealing with diabetes, high blood pressure, and leg problems that had plagued him for years.
Social media went wild because everyone assumed the guy followed apostolic traditions based on his Madzibaba stage name, but his family went with Muslim rites instead. Comments ranged from straight-up confusion about why he used that name if he practiced Islam to people defending the family's right to honor his actual beliefs over his public persona. Some folks admitted they had never seen that type of burial before and learned something new from watching it all go down.
