MANY a times, reports have swirled of celebrities, particularly musicians, having woken up dead under unclear circumstances or being involved in road accidents and losing their lives. Only after a few phone calls and checks will it be proven that it’s a hoax. BY WINSTONE ANTONIO In the past, there have been indications that so and so wanted to release a single or an album, hence his/her people spread the fake news that the artiste had died. It is said such death rumours are started to raise an artiste’s stacks. At times, such rumours are started by other people without the artiste knowing, and they will be shocked on receiving rumours about their own deaths. Just imagine waking up in the morning fit and strong, with news trending on different social media platforms that you are dead — all because of mischievous internet prankers? This is the fate that has befallen many local and international celebrities as death hoaxes tend to spread faster, thanks to the rise in the use of social media. The late former President Robert Mugabe died several times before his actual death, and he used to joke about it while taunting his naysayers. Also, the late music super star Oliver “Tuku” Mtukudzi, infuriated by numerous calls from journalists checking on him in the wake a series of death rumours, ended up coining a famous phrase, “kana ndafa ndichakufonerai” (I will call you when I am dead) before his demise on January 23 last year. In the latest death hoax, the celebrated gospel couple of Charles and Olivia Charamba “died” in a horrific car accident last week, sending their legion of fans into shock. The accident was said to have killed the Charambas on the spot, but the Rooted in Christ Ministries founder immediately dismissed the rumours through a video posted on his Facebook page. “Blessings to us all. Pastor Charamba and the family are all good and sound. Nyasha dzirikutichengeta. We thank all those who contacted us to enquire about the false news. We have not been involved in an accident. We also forgive the authors, scriptwriters and voice over artists who created the infamous joke,” he said. Music critic Fred Zindi said perpetrators of such “dry jokes” should be sued as the news tend to upset a lot of souls. “Although death hoaxes about celebrities are not a new phenomenon, perpetrators of such ‘jokes’ should be sued as the news upsets a lot of souls. Death hoaxes are widely perpetuated via social media by idle minds which have nothing to do except creating a story about the celebrity they either admire or hate,” he said. “If you go back 20 years, Oliver Mtukudzi had been dead more times than you can count before his actual death last year. With the advent of social media, the person who comes across such rumours on the internet does not usually bother to check if it is true. They simply share the information with others and begin circulating it, thus giving fuel to that fire.” The Charambas have joined a long list of other musicians among them dancehall chanter Winky D, Leonard “Karikoga” Zhakata, Jah Prayzah and Soul Jah

WARRIORS gaffer Zdravko Logarušić’s plan for the two Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Nigeria could suffer a blow after Orlando Pirates forward Terrence Dzvukamanja (pictured) suffered a head injury. Dzvukamanja was forced off the match on Wednesday when his side played Bloemfontein Celtic after sustaining what looks to be serious head injury. South Africa’s Thembonkosi Lorch was also seriously injured. This could be a setback for Logarušić who drafted the former Ngezi Platinum star player in his 24-man provisional squad to face Algeria in back-to-back Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers. Dzvukamanja had been a favourite to make the trip to Algiers looking at his scintillating form for his South African side and was expected to be a vital cog in the Warriors plan. The other forwards include Prince Dube, David Moyo and Tino Kadewere. “It does not look good for both players, Dzvukamanja looks like a head injury. Having come to the club with a concussion, we’ll get a report from the doctor. I have no feedback,” Pirates gaffer Fadlu Davids told KickOff. What worries most is if Pirates will release Dzvukamanja with the Warriors already set for camp ahead of the away tie against the Dessert Foxes, with the first players expected to arrive today. This also piles more misery to the Croatian gaffer with the United States-based player, Tatenda Mkuruva and Tendai Jirira also doubtful for the trip. Meanwhile, Dzvukamanje’s injury also came as a huge blow for Pirates who are set for another duel against Kaizer Chiefs in the MTN 8 Semi-finals on Sunday. This week, however, will be a reality check for Logarušić and his lieutenants as they face a venomous Algerian side who not only boast of high profile players but a sterling home record.
