Sungura musician Tatenda Pinjisi fights for his life in intensive care at Sally Mugabe Central Hospital after a deadly crash that killed three people on Saturday. The accident happened around 7 pm past Norton tollgate on the Harare-Bulawayo highway. His bassist Naison Tembo, drummer Prosper, and a woman passenger died in the collision. Pinjisi was driving the vehicle with band members heading to a scheduled performance in Kadoma. The funerals for Tembo and Prosper were planned for the next day.

Pinjisi remains on oxygen with multiple fractures to his thighbone, kneecap, and left arm. The crash occurred when an oncoming Hino truck tried to overtake another vehicle, resulting in a head-on collision. Other injured band members include Sonboy Chizenga with facial and back injuries, Kamurungu with a head injury, and dancer Brajayindi who suffered bruises. Simba Saini from Zimbabwe Diaspora Musicians expressed sadness about the accident, calling for unity among musicians during this difficult time.

Doctor Johannes Marisa urged community support for Pinjisi, noting the high costs of treating accident injuries. He emphasized that the crash stemmed from driver negligence rather than poor road conditions. Marisa advised all drivers to practice defensive driving techniques and stay alert on the roads. He also encouraged corporate entities to help the injured musician through his recovery.
