Zimbabwe’s vibrant music scene has been rocked by worrying news today: popular hip-hop artist Saintfloew (real name Tawanda Mambo) has been admitted to hospital.
The news, confirmed by sources close to the artist, including the platform Nash TV Zimbabwe, has sent shockwaves through his fanbase. Here is a summary of what we know so far.
Perhaps the most alarming detail to emerge is that the artist is reportedly “unable to speak” at this time, according to close sources. Neither his management team nor the hospital has publicly disclosed the specific nature of his condition, fueling concern among the music community.
Saintfloew, known for chart-topping hits like “Silas Mavende” and “Wicked Weekend,” has been a significant figure in the Zim hip-hop movement. Recently, he made headlines by securing a major distribution deal with Virgin Music South Africa (under Universal Music Group) in September 2024, signaling a promising trajectory toward international recognition.
The artist’s hospitalization comes just weeks after he was involved in a widely reported car accident in late August 2025, from which he reportedly sustained no life-threatening injuries.
Social media is currently abuzz with messages of support and prayers from fans and fellow artists across Zimbabwe and beyond. The hip-hop community is holding out hope for Tawanda Mambo’s swift and full recovery.
