HARARE – The late Zimbabwe music legend John Chibadura will soon have a lavish tombstone, which will represent his musical journey and possibly keep his legacy alive, 26 years after he died. A Harare-based monumental mason Tendai Mbofana of Ngoda Granites partnered with Journalist Hopewell Chin’ono who had offered to pay for Chibadura’s tombstone. According to Chin’ono, Mbofana later refused to accept any payment for the making of the tombstone.
He wrote, “I offered to pay for a new tombstone to restore the dignity of a man who gave us so much joy through his music. Tendai came forward and said to me ‘Daddy Hope you have done a lot for our country allow us to play our part in our own way…. “What moved me deeply is that Tendai refused to take a single cent.
He said he wanted to do this as his way of saying thank you to John Chibadura on behalf of all Zimbabweans.” Mbofana also confirmed this to Nehanda Radio that he did this out of goodwill and would not accept a single penny from anyone. He also stated that the tombstone will cost $5000 Soul Jah Love’s ex-wife, Bounty Lisa, celebrates birth…Oct 23, 202442,348 Soul Jah Love’s ex-wife, Bounty Lisa, celebrates birth… A send-off one year in the making … stunning Soul Jah Love…Aug 27, 202431,569 A send-off one year in the making … stunning Soul Jah Love… John Chibadura’s alleged long-lost son emerges 25 years…Aug 9, 202457,010
