The tragic altercation at the Alick Macheso show on Saturday night has sent shockwaves through the Chiredzi community following the untimely de_th of Wilson ‘Gokicho’ Mushava, a local tout.
The incident took place around 11 PM at the Masiza Nengere Gardens, where Gokicho and his friends were enjoying the lively atmosphere of the concert.
Tensions flared when Julius Mufuka accused one of Gokicho’s companions of stealing his beer, which led to a heated exchange between the two parties.
Mufuka, seemingly enraged, produced a knife and attempted to st_b the individual he believed was responsible.
Sensing the growing conflict, Gokicho stepped in, seeking to defuse the situation by offering to buy Mufuka another beer to calm him down.
Tragically, as Gokicho took Mufuka to the bar, the situation escalated, resulting in Mufuka turning the knife on Gokicho instead.
His friends, unaware of the grave turn of events, received alarming news moments later that Gokicho had been st_bbed.
Rushing back to the scene, they were met with the horrific sight of Gokicho lying in a pool of bl00d, a st_b wound visible on the left side of his chest.
Without delay, he was transported to the Chiredzi District Hospital, where doctors declared him de_d upon arrival, devastating those who knew him.
Local residents and concertgoers alike are rallying to ensure that the perpetrator does not escape accountability for this senseless act of viol3nce.
As police investigations continue, residents are hopeful that swift action will be taken to address their concerns.
Gokicho was not just a local tout; he was a vibrant personality who brought joy to many, making his loss even more profound.
