adminpopularly known as Apama — and two others, sustained serious injuries when the vehicle they were travelling in was involved in a road accident in Mozambique last week.
The accident occurred near Forbes Border Post while the group was travelling to Pemba in Mozambique for the Tambo Art Camp and VII Festival which was scheduled to run from July 16 to 22.
According to Apama, the accident occurred when the kombi they were travelling in veered off the road while trying to evade an oncoming haulage truck.
Sibanda — who was cohabiting with Thenjiwe — was buried in Gwanda while Thenjiwe was laid to rest in Bulawayo on Sunday.
“Their bodies arrived in Zimbabwe on Sunday and proceeded to their respective burial places. We are, however, grateful for the support that we received from the organisers of the festival in Mozambique as well as the Zimbabwean Embassy in Mozambique,” said Justice Chinhema of the Dancers Association of Zimbabwe, of which Apama Styles School of Theatre Art are members.
The other surviving members who were injured in the accident are reportedly in a stable condition and are receiving treatment in Ruwa.
Apama said he has recovered from the injuries and has since resumed shows in a bid to raise funds which he intends to donate to the families of the deceased.
Apama Styles School of Theatre Art was formed eight years ago.
Biggie Chinoperekwei, the owner of City Sports Bar in Harare who works closely with the dance group, pledged to lend a helping hand to the group.
