REPAIRING a Tesla at Gazaland in Highfield?
Well, Zimbabweans can be quite a cheeky lot when they want to.
Take for instance all this social media buzz surrounding musician Saintfloew.
Imagines on social media suggest he is lucky to have escaped with his life after a horror car crash but it appears some people are creating some humour around the accident.
A viral video shared online captures an extensively damaged white Tesla, believed to belong to arts promoter Tinashe ‘Nash’ Mutarisi, and reports claim Saintfloew was the one behind the wheel.
The accident happened near Greencroft Shopping Centre in Harare on Saturday night.
Police and his management team have not yet confirmed whether this Tesla is the one that belongs to Mutarisi and it was Saintfloew who was behind the wheel.
But, that has not stopped social media from exploding.
One cheeky repondent to the posts on social media said:
“We are located at Gazaland, even a helicopter we can fix come through with the car.”
Which, in itself, is quite humorous given Tesla is an electric car.
Another respondent said:
“Saintfloew very sorry, no one plans for an accident but you have made history yekuita the first person kuita accident ne Tesla in Zimbabwe.”
Another one said:
“No one wishes to have an accident guys, whether drunk or not, accidents happen, let’s just try to drive safely on these roads.”
Another added:
“Very sorry Santa and team so long you are alive and well we thank God for that, the car doesn’t matter you can always buy another one.”
Romeo Nyika said:
“For those who do not know insurance, it’s a write off in this case and he gets refunded all the money because this cannot be fixed in Zimbabwe.
“They might get the money with extra, if they had increased motor value,” said Romeo Nyika.
Saintfloew rose to prominence with hits such as Silas Mavende and Gundamwenda, which earned him a loyal following among Hip Hop and Zim-dancehall fans.
The rapper has also been open about his personal battles against drugs and substance abuse and has appeared to be on the right track since he spent some time undergoing rehabilitation in South Africa.
Late last year, he signed a groundbreaking deal with Virgin Music Group.
The partnership is aimed at expanding his global reach and unlocking exciting collaborations with international artists.
