Hundreds of people, including music lovers, braved the chilly weather to bury Mr Thinyadziwi Ranwedzi (33), a member of the legendary Tshivenda musical group, Adziambei band. He was killed on 26 April in a vehicle accident along the Mangondi-Thohoyandou road.

He was buried in the Mukula-Phindula graveyard on Monday.

During the event, speakers recalled his sweet voice, both in church and when performing for the Adziambei band. Ranwedzi made his name in the music industry by joining well-known gospel singer Lufuno Dagada, and last year he joined the Adziambei band. He played a leading role in the release of their latest album, Shango lo ima nga thoho. He was both singer, producer and composer of various songs on the album.

The leader of the Adziambi band, Mr Elias “Maele” Sirwali, described Ranwedzi as man with a good and sweet melodic voice, which helped to steer the band to a higher level. “We lost a musical man, whose voice will never be replaced. We used to enjoy singing with him. We are really shocked by his untimely death, because he replaced one of our founding members, Tshivhangwaho Raedani, who passed away some three years ago."

He left his wife, Avhasei, two boys, his father and mother.
