Boss Kangara buried with stacks of money
Deceased Bindura businessman and prominent Bindura gold dealer Kudzanai Kangara who died of Covid-19 at Chitungwiza Hospital on Sunday and was buried in his rural home in Shamva, on Monday, lived a life of glitz and glamour in the town’s Aerodrome suburb.
He was well known for being one of the wealthiest men in Bindura, sometimes seen driving with gold bars on his car’s dashboard.
The flamboyant businessman was buried with stacks of money, according to The Herald. Money was placed in his coffin, perhaps to afford him a soft landing in heaven.
Speaking after his death, Kangar family spokesperson Cosmas Kangara described the gold dealer’s death as a huge blow to the family and the community at large.
Born in a family of seven, Kangara grew up an orphan following the death of his parents. “He started working at Trojan Nickel Mine in Bindura as an electrician. He worked there for five years and lost his job when the mine closed,” said Mr Kangara.
“He did temporary teaching at Zvomanyanga and married Refaisi Dambaza. He didn’t manage to proceed to a teachers’ college as planned. He did farming at his in-laws to raise money to buy a car to start a pirate taxi business and plied the Madziwa-Goora route.
“They raised money and started buying gold. At that time, trading in gold was prohibited and difficult. At one point, the wife wanted to leave him because of hardships in the business.”
Kangara lived a life of luxury, officially married to three wives and driving top of the range vehicles including a Range Rover, Mercedes Benz G-Wagon, Mercedes Benz X-Class, a McLaren, among many other Toyota brands such as Prados and Land cruisers.
He is famously known to have caused the Bindura Town Council to remove humps in his suburb to allow him to smoothly drive his McLaren.
