HARARE – Rising Zimbabwe dancehall music artist Emegy Slyvesta Chizanga, popularly known as ‘Freeman’ has denied reports that he was involved in a car accident last week on his return from a series of shows in the UK.
According to the H Metro tabloid newspaper, Freeman was lucky to escape unscathed when a Mazda 6 vehicle he purchased from the UK last year in November, veered off the road before safely landing into a bushy area.
The paper claimed the accident occurred near Tynwald South Mother Touch Junior School around 4:30pm. Members of the public who recognised him are said to have helped him push his car back onto the main road.
But writing on social networking site Facebook, Freeman said:
“Guyz mheno zvanyorwa neHmetro abt Docta involved in an Accident!! Kunyeeeepa vada kuti ritengwe ndakatosimba izvezvi thou ndisiri muDhafu!! Havatibaaaaateeeeee!!!!”
H Metro say they contacted Freeman who “tried to evade” the issue “but later opened up”. “Nothing like that happened who told you hamaya haina kumbotambika iyoyo,” he said at first before telling the paper;
“The car burst a tyre; I was not speeding usateerere zvinotaura vanhu. People always say a lot of stuff, teere inini it was an accident hapana pressure wangu,” he allegedly said.
Asked by the paper if he had a drivers licence, Freeman said; “Where did you get the issue about a license? Don’t worry about that, it was just an accident that’s all and no one got injured,” he said.
