Saruwaka Death Exclusive | The sudden death of vibrant political activist Kudzai Saruwaka yesterday did not happen as a result of ill-health, motor vehicle accident, food poisoning or drowning. The exclusive intelligence detail we have gathered is as follows:
Kudzai left Zimbabwe in a huff after receiving a tip off that a team of lethal system operatives had been assigned to "deal with him" regarding his close association to late Blessed Geza and their spirited anti-2030 campaign. He flew out of Zimbabwe on the 20th of October, 2025.
Apart from his political activism, Saruwaka was in the mercantile business of branded door and entrance hall rugs, mats and carpets which he occasionally advertised online. Early November, he received a "business" call in which a potential client ordered some of his merchandise. On 20th November, the first R9,000 was paid into his account.
The initial payment was quickly followed by two other payments a few weeks later. What surprised Saruwaka and his team was that the client never expedited any of the payments through EFT but chose to deposit via ATMs. After the successive payments, the mystery client went silent and never supplied Kudzai with a delivery address.
Saruwaka then tried on several occasions to reach out to the client but to his surprise,the number was no longer in use. Upon getting suspicious, Kudzai rightfully decided to play safe and report the transaction to the police who recorded every detail as he provided.
January 2026 passed with no trace of the client and Saruwaka went back to update the police and asked for their help in tracing the mysterious client. Suddenly, last week, the client called Kudzai with another number asking him to deliver the consignment in the Mabopane area in Pretoria and sent location. Upon checking the surroundings via mobile, Saruwaka realised it was a secluded bushy area with no buildings at all.
In hindsight, Kudzai hired an Uber which took him and his delivery consignment to the given location. As he was about to reach, he called the number and again, it was no longer going through. A few moments later, the mystery client called with another number telling him to come to another location a bit further into the bushy area.
When Saruwaka arrived at the location, two gunmen appeared from the bush and started firing at the Uber vehicle before Kudzai could come out of the car. Sadly, both Saruwaka and the Uber driver died on the spot. While giving feedback to Saruwaka's business associates, police said nothing was stolen from the car including the delivery consignment for the case to pass as a robbery. A murder file was therefore opened.
There will be a follow-up report on this matter on this handle in a few hours. May Saruwaka and the Uber driver's souls rest in eternal peace.
