In an emotional statement, the award-winning artist expressed profound sorrow over the news.

"I have been pained after receiving the news. I have learnt of the passing of two young fans of mine Anotida Maziriri and Edmore Mafuwe who lost their lives in a tragic car accident while on their way to one of our shows," said Jah Prayzah.
