Tongai Moyo- Nemumvura mese
Tongai Moyo's albums have stormed the airwaves as fans and record companies mourn one of Zimbabwe's sungura stars.
The Utakataka Express frontman who died on October 15 from non-Hodgkin Lymphoma, is posthumously riding on a new wave of popularity with fans not only going after his latest release "Toita Basa" but also his yesteryear albums like "Vimbo", "Vise", "Chechete" and "Ndazvimba Mapapu".
Affectionately known to his legion of fans as Dhewa, the "Ndinobvuma" singer is receiving heavy rotation on the airwaves, in pubs, clubs as well as commuter omnibuses. Most of his albums are also popular on iTune downloads.
"It always happens that people don't know what they have got until it's gone," said an official from Gramma Records who requested anonymity.
The late Tongai “Dhewa” Moyo’s son, Peter was yesterday involved in an accident while on his way to Zhombe to bury his father. The accident immediately invoked memories of the late Tongai Moyo’s mystery accidents which haunted him ever since the death of his father. Many believe Moyo who chose to go ahead with his shows in UK while his father was being buried was cursed. People who spoke from the scene of the accident, said the funeral wake of the late music super-star was turned into panic mode when news of the accident reached the hundreds of mourners. “There was panic over the accident of the late Moyo’s son. Peter’s car was hit from behind by another car while he had stopped to give way to crossing cattle. He sustained chest injuries,” Sibanda said.
The late sungura music superstar Tongai Moyo was buried on Tuesday at his rural home in Sosombe, Zhombe.
The 43 year old died on Saturday after a long battle with cancer.
[P]rominent musicians and politicians attended the burial as did an estimated 10 000 people.
On Monday over 15 000 people packed into Mbizo Stadium in Kwekwe to pay their last respects to ‘Dhewa’ as he was affectionately known by his legion of fans.
Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai on Monday issued a statement joining the Tongai Moyo family and the people of Zimbabwe “in mourning an iconic musician who raised the country’s flag and help lift the arts industry in the country.”
It was a funeral-cum-celebration of the life of one of Zimbabwe's sungura icons as the who-is-who of the entertainment industry converged at a Harare funeral parlour for a service for Utakataka Express frontman Tongai "Dhewa" Moyo.
It was bling all round as socialites took to the dance floor singing and extolling the brand Dhewa brought to the music industry that debunked the stereotype that musicians are a scruffy lot.
Heavily-built ladies performed the "sele" dance routine popularised by former Miss Biggy Matofotofo, Monica Chikasha, who was a regular at Dhewa's shows.
Fans danced wildly with some sitting precariously on the rooftop of the moving hearse. Business came to a standstill at Roadport where people jostled to catch a glimpse of the funeral cotege.
Musicians who turned up at the funeral parlour include Baba naMai Charamba, Somandla Ndebele, First Farai, Sulumane Chimbetu as well as promoters Mama Red Rose, Partson Chimbodza, Blessing Jeke and Mama Presdom.

Dhewa (43) died on Saturday evening from breathing complications and kidney failure. He will be buried at his rural home in Zhombe tomorrow, a family spokesperson said.
The singer died at St Annes Hospital after a six-year battle with non-Hodgkins Lymphoma, a cancer of the white blood cells.
Tongai Moyo has expressed gratitude to fellow musicians for the support they have rendered him in his time of need.
Dhewa, as he is fondly referred to by his followers, was speaking on the sidelines of this year's Chibuku Road to Fame finals at the Glamis Arena where he performed last weekend.
The sungura musician, who is battling non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, said he needed shoulders to lean on because of his condition.
"I am grateful to fellow musicians who have been very supportive in the recent times of my ill health.
"Their love and support has encouraged me to soldier on and I thank them for their assistance," Dhewa said.
Sungura musician Tongai Moyo was diagnosed with brain tumour when he was admitted in hospital over the weekend.
Tongai, or simply Dhewa to his fans, who is also battling Non-Hodgkins lymphoma, has since started radiotherapy. He, however, assured his fans that his life was not in danger and would this weekend resume gigs in and around Harare.
"I only discovered that I had developed a small tumour in the head last week, and had to be rushed to hospital for treatment thinking that my condition (Non-Hodgkins lymphoma) had worsened," he said in a telephone interview from his Kwekwe base.
