The Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) has confirmed that a 63-year-old man “jumped to his death” from the 8th floor of the Crowne Plaza Hotel in central Harare today.

According to the national police spokesman Assistant Commissioner Paul Nyathi the incident happened at 8.30am on Thursday.

The police statement said “more details will be revealed in due course”.

Several witnesses who spoke to Nehanda Radio said the man, who is Caucasian (white) died instantly on impact with the ground.

Dozens of people gathered at the scene as police removed the body after getting confirmation from paramedics that he was dead.

“I initially thought it was an electrical explosion,” said a vendor who spoke to a State media newspaper and plies his trade near the hotel.

Gambinga Gambinga and Devonshire Green have a colourful, yet simultaneously worrying history. Gambinga, a creative designer and businessman landed in England in 1997, but immediately fell into some problems.

UK based Zim businessman battled suicide, lost everything twice but is now back on...

By Maynard Manyowa At first glance, Devonshire Green does not look like a place you would find a story, let alone one with a strong if not immortal Zimbabwean connection. The park, a hundred odd meters away from Sheffield's Council City Hall, in South Yorkshire has everything British but precious little to do with Africa. It has a skate park, something quite alien to the Southern African country, and not in a bad way either. In the world of track, Zimbabwe is probably more BMX than skateboard, much like some countries are more Ice Hockey than Cricket!  Yet, the park carries an inspirational story of 'rock bottom to top' that mimics a pendulum in reverse. The story, incredibly, involves a motivated Zimbabwean migrant who landed in England when Princess Diana was still alive, and has been knocked down twice, both times to the brink of death, yet somehow, found his way back. Gambinga Gambinga, 43, does not immediately strike you, or anybody for that matter, as a man with a story. Somewhere north of 6ft tall, the Rastafarian has bright white eyes, long braided locks, and charcoal like skin.
