Alick Macheso (sungura kingpin) was involved in a road accident (collision with a kombi) in the early hours of Father’s Day.
-
Where: Near the Blue Ridge complex along Mutoko Road.
-
Vehicle: A Toyota Fortuner GD6 (sustained significant front and rear damage). This was NOT the US$140,000 Mercedes-Benz GLE400 donated to him by Chivayo in March 2024.
-
Role: Macheso was a passenger in the back seat; his driver was behind the wheel because Macheso rarely drives himself after shows due to exhaustion.
-
Condition: He escaped unhurt and is safe and resting at home – contrary to false social media rumours.
-
Public statement: Publicist Tich Makahamadze confirmed his safety, praised God for protection, and thanked fans for their emotional support and inquiries.
-
Broader context: Other high-profile figures (comedian Freddy “Kapfupi” Manjalima and Daisy Mtukudzi) have also been in recent accidents, but most were attributed to human error, not vehicle defects. A social media user noted that accidents can happen to anyone, regardless of car ownership.
