HARARE – During his lifetime, Genius “Ginimbi” Kadungure dazzled Zimbabwe with his extravagant lifestyle, his jaw-dropping mansion, and — perhaps most famously — his multimillion-dollar car collection.
But now, almost four years after his untimely death, that once-revered fleet of luxury vehicles has reportedly vanished.
Ginimbi, a flamboyant businessman and socialite known for his love of fast cars and flashy parties, died in 2020 at the age of 36.
His death came in tragic fashion, when his Rolls-Royce Wraith collided head-on with a Honda Fit, veered off the road, struck a tree, and burst into flames. He was thrown from the vehicle and died on the scene alongside three friends.
In the aftermath, many expected his prized collection — which included some of the most expensive cars in the country — to be preserved as part of his legacy. But that hope now appears to have faded.
According to H-Metro, nearly all of Ginimbi’s luxury cars — including his beloved Lamborghini and Rolls-Royce, once impounded by authorities — have been sold off, many for far less than their market value.
“It’s a very sad story because Mbinga [Ginimbi] had really assembled a super fleet, but it’s now all gone,” a source close to the late socialite told the publication.
“These big cars have been getting sold over the years — many of them for what you could call a song, for one reason or another.”
The source claims that personal motivations may have influenced the sales, including romantic entanglements involving those entrusted with the cars after Ginimbi’s death.
“Some of the cars were sold to people who had developed special relationships with those managing the estate. And by special, I mean romantic relationships. In the heat of those situations, things happen.”
Amid the lack of clear information, speculation continues to swirl — especially among those who idolised the late businessman’s lifestyle.
“In such circumstances, rumours rise and there are all sorts of stories flying around. But the bottom line is: the cars are gone. And Mbinga could be turning in his grave.”
