'No snake in Ginimbi's house'

Genius Kadungure's friends have rubbished claims that there was a juju snake in the late socialite's house.

The friends who include Chief Albert Ndabambi, Chief Jose Tazvi Mhaka, Brian Nyanyiwa, Brighton Bako Buks, Ronald Muzambe and Dino Tumbare on Tuesday challenged those who were also making claims that Ginimbi had bought a coffin and prepared for his funeral to come forward and take the coffin out of the sprawling mansion.

Dino said it was important for those who were claiming that Ginimbi had a juju snake to come to his house and show then where it is since they have known the late for a longtime a hard worker and go getter.

"Come and show us the snake. Genius never had any juju snake.

"He was a hard worker," Dino said.

Another Ginimbi confidante Chief Jose said it was appalling that people come up with all sorts of narrative to soil a name that Ginimbi earned for himself.

"These narratives are dangerous to the youths and young generation.

"What will the youths learn? The younger generation will be quick to think that the source of wealth is juju rather than hard work.

"It was all hard work and not juju," he said.

He was echoed by Chief Albert who said Genius was like any other person who would have highs and lows in life but was quick to come up with new business ideas.

"Genius would also get down financially but he would come up with new ideas and rise up again," said Chief Albert.
