The musician, born Arnold Kamudyariwa, has urged anyone with information about their whereabouts to report to the nearest police station.

Posting a picture of the trio on Facebook, Fantan said he believed that his ex-wife wanted to cross the border with his children, despite the fact the fact that they did not have travel documents. The trio disappeared on Wednesday in Mbare.

“We are desperately searching for Gamuchirai Nemukuyu (mai Fafi) and 2 minor children, Rufaro Kamudyariwa (6 years) & Ruvheneko Kamudyariwa (5 years), last seen Wednesday, 5 March 2025, in Mbare.

“Information last received is to the effect that she had plans to flee outside Zimbabwe with the children without proper travel documentation,” the statement read.

While the matter was already a police case, Fantan expressed his fear for the safety of his children.

“We are extremely worried about the safety of all and mainly the minor children.

Fantan and Nemukuyu have a history of conflict. Last year, Nemukuyu claimed that the musician does not want her to move on with her life and is now using their children to get back at her.

Nemukuyu made the claims after the musician approached the Harare Civil Court, claiming that he was being denied access to his two children.

“Yes, I received a summon to attend court,” she said at the time. “He is always here and on one of the days, he clashed with my lover.
