By Newsreel
Trailblazing ZimDancehall singer Freeman was left in shock after his car was involved in an accident in Masvingo yesterday. According to his statement released on social media, the vehicle was being driven by his cousin’s friend, one Owen who had taken the vehicle at night without permission.
There were no fatalities in the accident but the vehicle was damaged.
Freeman had staged a sold out show in Masvingo and had planned to drive back to Harare in the morning for another performance at the CRAFT Festival at Harare Gardens.
The Joiner City hitmaker narrated the ordeal on social media and received sympathy from his legion of fans. His statement reads:
“So apparently, after my show in Masvingo I went back to my hotel and I was with my cousin and his friend who had come from Beitbridge to attend our show. Because I was tired I just went straight to sleep since I wanted to wake Up early on time kuti tibate show yekuHarare and the guys where playing Fifa in my room.
Around 5am I woke up and went outside and found that my car was’nt there. I went back and called my cousin who was with me in my room to ask him what happened and he said he just left his friend in the car. We tried calling the friend’s phone and it was getting through but isiri kudairwa, He then answered after like 20 missed calls saying “Mkoma wangu ndiri pama1 I’m in shock I am kuroad inoenda kumasoja.” Ipapo ipapo we went ikoko and he was’nt picking up his phone again. We started roaming around trying to look for him and tamutsvaga manually coz he wasn’t picking again.
There were a couple of soldiers that were close by and they asked us if we were looking for a white Fortuner. It hit me that something terrible had happened. Then they led us to an accident scene and it was my cousin’s friend who had taken my car and got involved in an accident. The car was there, but he was’nt there.
We started looking for him and found him like 200m from the scene sleeping in the bushes and he was injured not that bad We thank God he is alive. We rushed him to the hospital and he is in a stable condition tried asked him ko wauchiendepi nhai Owen? He could not espond because kwacho kwazvaitikira its out of town in a Dust road.
Sometimes ndofeeler sendomiswa nemweya yemadzinza. But God is for us all. We plan but God decides. We thank God no life was lost.
Takutotsvaga mota yekuenda to our next show in Harare Gardens maskati ano.”
