“Out of Funds: Hwindi President Pleads for Assistance Following Accident”
Zimdancehall artist, Hwindi President, has made a heartfelt appeal for financial assistance after a devastating car accident left him and three members of his team with serious injuries. The accident, which occurred in Beatrice as they were returning to Harare from a performance in Masvingo, has led to mounting medical bills that have drained their funds.
Hwindi President, real name Bessel Parehwa, was injured alongside his elder brother Blessing Parehwa, disc jockey Tinashe Chatiza, and manager Learnmore Mukonoweshuro. The artist lost control of his Honda Fit, leading to the crash that has left the quartet struggling to cover medical expenses.
In an interview with The Herald, Hwindi President expressed relief that they all survived but acknowledged the financial toll. “We are home and grounded since we have exhausted our savings to foot part of the medical bills. I have chest pains and my leg was injured in the process,” he explained.
The situation is even more severe for the other members of the team. “My brother was seriously injured together with the DJ and our manager. We need at least US$600 to pay our medical expenses since we have nothing left in our coffers.”
He urged well-wishers, friends, and promoters to come forward to help them during this difficult time. The Zimdancehall star had been part of a high-profile lineup, sharing the stage with Winky D, Gemma Griffiths, and Mbeu at the Lake October event in Masvingo before the accident occurred.
Despite the recent misfortune, Hwindi President remains hopeful that with support, he and his team can recover and get back on their feet.
