THE late socialite and businessman Genius “Ginimbi” Kadungure’s body was taken to Doves Funerals parlour yesterday despite Nyaradzo Life Assurance being the first to manage it, an episode which set tongues wagging amid claims that there was politics at play between the two funeral service providers. BY WINSTONE ANTONIO/KENNEDY NYAVAYA Ginimbi (36) died in a horror car accident along Borrowdale road in Harare on Sunday when his Rolls Royce Wraith collided head-on with a Honda Fit while driving back to his Domboshava mansion in the company of Malawian Limumba Karim, fitness trainer and video vixen Mitchel “Mimi Moana” Amuli and Mozambican model and socialite Alichia Adams. Karim, Amuli and Adams were trapped inside the car and burnt beyond recognition after the collision, while Ginimbi was pulled out just before the vehicle exploded into flames. Speculative reports emerged that Ginimbi’s close associates, who are linked to the ruling Zanu PF party, had arm-twisted the deceased’s family to dump Nyaradzo for Doves. “A lot of politics has been at play with regards to Ginimbi’s funeral. There seems to be some influence by his close associates. His family had initially engaged Nyaradzo, but his close associates, who are heavily involved in politics, were not happy about the family’s initial decision to engage Nyaradzo,” a source said. “These are the same guys who had proposed the all-white party farewell, which was shot down by the family. They, however, managed to convince the family to move the body from Nyaradzo to Doves hoping that they would be able to get some favours they wanted from the authorities, who are said to behind this funeral service company.” Without getting much into detail, Nyaradzo marketing officer Grace Chimedza yesterday said they just respected Ginimbi’s family decision to have his body moved to Doves. A family source told NewsDay Weekender that Ginimbi’s family had approached Nyaradzo first, but they later discovered that he had a policy with Doves South Africa, and that was when they then collected the body from Nyaradzo and handed it over to Doves to handle everything. Ginimbi will be buried today at his million-dollar mansion in a customised Versace coffin with a medusa print. The coffin was imported from South Africa, courtesy of his associates under the banner Friends of Ginimbi. Friends of Ginimbi’s spokesperson Ronald Muzambe confirmed to NewsDay Weekender that the coffin had come from South Africa, though he could not disclose all the costs involved. “There was no coffin that was bought prior to Ginimbi’s death, there was no such thing. There are multiple stories doing the rounds with regards the issue of the coffin. Many people wanted to buy the coffin for Ginimbi. We then decided that no individual should buy the coffin and the coffin was brought through contributions,” he said. “After putting the contributions together, some money was used to buy the coffin and some to cover funeral expenses. So it was a joint effort, not an individual job. I will clarify that the coffin was imported fro

Rosângela Cristina Oliveira Santos is a track and field sprint athlete who competes internationally for Brazil, specialising in the 100 and 200 meter sprints. Born to Brazilian parents in Washington D.C., on December 20, 1990, she contracted pneumonia as a baby and was one year old when her parents took her to live in Brazil. According to Santos’s aunt, Maria das Graças, two of her sisters moved to the United States to become members of a dance company. One sister, Barbara, who became Rosângelas mother, met a Brazilian in the U.S. and decided to remain in the country. After Rosângela was born and became ill, the parents decided to take her to Brazil where she would be cared for by her aunt, Maria. That move allowed Rosângela’s parents to continue working in the United States.
Rosângela Santos was raised by Maria das Graças in the town of Padre Miguel, a suburb of Rio de Janeiro. Santos’s first love was samba, a Brazilian musical genre and dance style, with its roots in African religious traditions. However, she very early showed a talent for athletics. At age nine, she demonstrated that talent by running throughout the streets of Padre Miguel for the fun of it.
Santos first represented Brazil at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, China, competing in the 4x100 meters relay; her team missed out on the bronze medal by 0.10 seconds. She later participated at the 2011 Pan American Games in Guadalajara, Mexico, winning the gold medal in the 100 meters event. She also took gold in the 4x100 meters relay with a time of 42.85, breaking the South American record. At the 2011 IAAF World Championships in Athletics in Daegu, South Korea, Santos ran the anchor leg in the 4x100m final, ranking seventh with a time of 43.10 seconds and setting a new South American record.
Competing at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, UK, Santos placed third in the semi-finals, losing to Carmelita Jeter of the United States and Veronica Campbell-Brown of Jamaica. Santos was the first Brazilian woman to achieve a place in the semi-finals of
