“THIS is it It’s going to be a movie here There will be no place like Dreams If there is, I will close the following day,” said a bullish Ginimbi on the night his nightclub reopened its doors as Dreams in August, 2019
he probably never saw or dreamt of a day when his empire would crumble or fall from grace to grass like what is transpiring now In 2019, Ginimbi closed the then Sankayi night club in Harare only to reopen it as Dreams with a touch of class and a complete makeover The flamboyant businessman was a larger-than-life character, on and off his native soil He coined the word ‘mbinga’ — street lingo which means a wealthy and flamboyant person
With his Dreams nightclub, he introduced the glitz, glamour and the soft life in the heart of Harare His dream was to make the nightclub a rendezvous for the local, regional and international big spenders “This place is for the big boys, the big spenders, the who is who are the ones we want We are not here to play, we are here to spend and play
“We want big boys with big toys and sexy ladies here,” said Ginimbi in his hoarse voice then Alas Ginimbi didn’t live longer to see his ‘dreams’ flourish On November 8, in 2020 the socialite died instantly in a freak road traffic accident after a night of heavy partying at his nightclub Dreams Night Club in the capital Three other people, including a model and a fitness trainer, also died in the accident when Ginimbi’s R5 million Rolls Royce Wrath collided head-on with another vehicle
The speeding Rolls-Royce veered off the road and hit a tree before going up in flames, according to an eyewitness Two of those burnt to death were identified as Alicia Adams, a model, and a fitness trainer, Michelle “Moana” Amuli The crew was coming from celebrating Moana’s birthday at Dreams His sibling Juliet, who recently died ironically on her late brother’s birthday, was a beneficiary of her late brother’s estate where she was co-executor with her younger sister Nelia — who likes the life of the bright lights
Three years after his death, Ginimbi’s empire is reported to be crumbling, his gas business was blown by the wind and his security company went under It was difficult for the public to track how Ginimbi’s businesses were doing, but the nightclub was evident and became the benchmark of how the estate and the businesses are performing Early this year, it was reported that the club was now under Mashwede, fast forward to November, properties at the night spot were placed under the hammer Source: The Standard Zimbabwe
