What a sad day for Zimbabwe.
A giant has fallen.In the words of Randy Travis though, “It’s not what you take when you leave this world behind you, it’s what you leave behind when you go.”
The man has left us a rich legacy of music. @fredomachoka @KoinangeJeff #OliverMtukudzi pic.twitter.com/hSkYLyc83H

RIP #OliverMtukudzi last time I met you and your family was at the NBA Africa Game and what a performance you gave with my mama @YvonneChakaX2 during the Legends Night.
NERIA remains to be my all time favorite from you.
Your legacy lives on. ?? pic.twitter.com/sGQfJeYkP9— Jokate Mwegelo (@jokateM) January 23, 2019
The last time I saw Oliver Mtukudzi performing in the flesh was when he was paying tribute to Bra Hugh at the memorial in Soweto. Rest well Tuku. The music in the afterlife is going to be even sweeter. 🙏🏾#RIPOliverMtukudzi
