The car, a high-end model, has been a subject of public interest due to its connection to Chivayo, who has been involved in various philanthropic initiatives following the passing of the beloved musician in early 2019. Dr. Mtukudzi, known for his profound influence on Zimbabwean music and culture, left a lasting legacy that continues to resonate with fans across the nation.
As news of the accident spread, supporters of the Mtukudzi family took to social media to express their relief at Daisy’s safety and to share well-wishes for her recovery. The family has asked for privacy during this time as they navigate the aftermath of the incident.
