The family said he died due to heart failure.
He is known for helping dancehall musician Killer T to
climb the ladder of success.
Coldaz ran a nite spot at Huruyadzo Shopping Centre in St
Mary’s.
He was found dead in bed a day after visiting his mother in
Kuwadzana Extension.
There were a lot of theories surrounding his death. There
were claims that he had committed suicide by consuming a pesticide following an
infidelity row.
The other theory was that he was a victim of a dispute with
some of his siblings following a dispute over the distribution of their late
father’s estate. However, a family member, who spoke on condition of anonymity,
said a post mortem has since established the businessman succumbed to heart
failure.
“On Wednesday he went to Kuwadzana to bid farewell to his
mother, who was set to travel to South Africa where she is now based.
“He was compelled to stay for the night at the family home
and he actually called his wife to advise her of that arrangement.”
Before retiring to bed, he is said to have complained about
his feet.
“His mother applied some heat rub and after that they
prayed before Madzamba went to sleep in the spare bedroom.
“The following morning, Thursday, his mother woke up to do
the house chores. She assumed her son was too tired, hence his delay in waking
up.
“She became worried when he still had not risen late into
the morning. That is when she entered the room and shook him. There was no
response.
“She then rushed to seek help next door and a neighbour
later advised her that her son had passed on,” said the source.
Hundreds of revellers thronged Coldaz Nite Club in St
Mary’s on Saturday night to pay homage to their community hero.
Douglas Katsvairo, brother of the late sungura musician,
John Chibadura, said he had been robbed of a brother and advisor.
“Coldaz was a blessing not only to me but the community at
large. Every time l had a problem, either domestic or financial, in him l knew
l had a shoulder to lean on,” he said.
Efforts to get a comment from Killer T were unsuccessful.
The Zim dancehall chanter has included the slogan line
“Coldaz” in some of his songs in gratitude for the help he received from
businessman accorded him in the infant years of his career. H Metro
