THE son of the late popular musician, Dickson “Cde Chinx”
Chingaira, Sagelaw Chingaira, died on the wee hours of Saturday after he was
hit by a car in Greendale, in a suspected “‘hit and run’” accident.
Sagelaw, who was poised to take over his late father’s
band, died on admission to Parirenyatwa Group of Hospitals where he had been
taken for treatment.
He was 26.
A family member confirmed Sagelaw’s death, describing it as
a big loss to the family. “It is true that we lost him,” said Sagelaw’s aunt.
“We were called at around 3am on Saturday and we were told that Sagelaw had
been hit by a car in Greencroft near the Total Service Station while he was
coming from hanging out with his friends.
“We rushed to the scene and took him to Parirenyatwa Group
of Hospitals where he died a few moments later.”
The aunt said Sagelaw was planning to revive his father’s
band, although he was committed to the Zimbabwe Prisons and Correctional
Service where he was employed.
“He was into music and he once did a song ‘Nzira Dzema
Youths’ when his father was still alive,” she said. “Sagelaw was into music and
his acts were similar to those of his father. If you remember, he performed
with the ZPCS band at his father’s funeral.”
Sagelaw’s auntie said mourners were gathered at the
family’s Mabelreign, Harare, home. Herald
