Ginimbi had a son in 2011 with a Gutu-based businesswoman,
Miyedzo “Miye” Madondo afterthe two met in in 2006 when Miyedzo returned from
New Zealand.
“During those days, the guy was broke. He drove Miyedzo’s
cars (BMW X5 and Dodge Nitro) and used her money to buy expensive clothes.
“But we loved him because he was kind and generous. From
whatever he got from Miyedzo, he would find something to give us. Ginimbi
always had exciting ideas.
“The only thing that saddens us is that he milked our
sister dry and ran away. It is more painful to think that he went on to enjoy
that money with other women,” a relative told The Sunday Mail in Gutu.
Miyedzo herself refused to open up during an interview at
her farm in Masvingo. “I hope this visit is personal and not about Genius
because that is a closed chapter. Maybe someday I will tell you all about it,
but not now, I just can’t.”
She referred questions to her aunt who said “It is not a
secret – everyone knows. Even if you ask people around the village and at the
(Gutu) Growth Point. It’s known that Ginimbi is the father of our boy.
“I was introduced to Genius right here, on this compound,
in this hut. He was here all the time. After dumping Miyedzo for another woman,
he later tried to be involved in his son’s life.
“We wanted to attend the funeral but the Genius he had
become was different from the Genius we knew. We feared his relatives could be
hostile as some were likely to think we were after his money.”
A former driver at Kadungure’s Pioneer Gases, who only
wanted to be identified as Mike, claimed that Miyedzo also invested in the gas
company.
“Miyedzo thought the investment was registered in both
their names but she didn’t know that Ginimbi had taken everything.
