Xolisa Kwinana, a Crown Gospel award-winning musician, has strongly denied these allegations, describing them as false and expressing his intention to investigate them further upon his return to South Africa.

Notes
Recent Fatal Incidents in Mazowe (July 2025):
Jumbo Mine Shaft Collapse (July 2025): Just “days earlier” than July 14, 2025, three miners died at Jumbo Mine in Mazowe District due to a vertical shaft collapse. They were crushed underground after the shaft infrastructure suddenly failed. Fellow miners and police retrieved their bodies hours later. This incident is a direct example of a shaft collapse leading to multiple fatalities, fitting part of the original query’s description.
Kwayedza Investments Mine Explosion (July 11, 2025): Two men died in an explosion at Kwayedza Investments Mine in Mazowe. The victims were reportedly sitting by a fire for warmth when an unexpected explosion occurred. One died on the spot, and the other succumbed to injuries at Concession Hospital. Investigations are ongoing. This highlights another severe hazard: uncontrolled explosions.
Bindura Car Fire Spree (July 2025): ZBC News and iHarare reported on July 18 and 19, 2025, that four more cars were mysteriously set ablaze in Chiwaridzo, Bindura, in the early hours of Thursday (likely July 17th). This follows a similar incident in June, where other vehicles were destroyed.
Method: The fires often occur overnight at different homes, suggesting a deliberate act rather than mechanical failure while driving.
Impact: Residents are “terrified” and “deeply worried,” with some cars completely destroyed.
Investigation: The Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) is investigating these “mysterious fires,” suspecting arson. Mashonaland Central Police Spokesperson, Inspector Milton Mundembe, stated that forensic science experts and CID Bindura were dispatched, but the motive remains unknown. Police have appealed for public cooperation.
Public Concern: Residents are calling for increased police patrols, highlighting the fear that such destruction is “equal to murder.”
