Two Zimbabwean students perished in a fatal vehicle collision while traveling to attend a Jah Prayzah concert in Edmonton on Saturday evening. Anotida Kimberly Maziriri and Eddmore Mafuwe, aged 23, died instantly when their car crashed during the journey to the musical performance. The accident occurred on the opening night of the artist's Canadian tour dates. Families of both victims have established online fundraising campaigns to cover the costs of repatriation. The tragedy has prompted an outpouring of international support from donors worldwide.
Maziriri's relatives have collected $5,993 from 201 contributors through their GoFundMe appeal, managed by Aisher Magomo. The campaign has achieved approximately 40 percent of its 15,000-dollar target within hours of launching. Family members described the young woman as a source of brightness and compassion whose sudden death devastated their household. They expressed appreciation for the generous response from supporters during their grief. The funds will help with funeral arrangements and alleviate financial strain during this difficult time.
Mafuwe's family has raised $3,243 from 83 donors through their separate fundraising effort, coordinated by Tinashe Mazibiye. The engineering student had relocated to Canada in 2022 to pursue his studies at Thompson Rivers University in British Columbia. His relatives from Arlington Estate near Robert Gabriel Mugabe International Airport emphasized their desire to bring him home for burial. Both campaigns represent 22 percent of the identical monetary goal established by his family. The bereaved households continue seeking assistance to transport their loved ones back to Zimbabwe.
