We lost a bread-winner: Samantha family

Staff Writer

Samantha Dzapata who was buried today in Seke was a bread-winner according to a family spokesperson.

Samantha (28) was shot and killed by her estranged boyfriend, Tafadzwa Murengwa, last week in a sad love story fraught with horror.

Tafadzwa aka Boss Pangolin, accused Samantha of cheating with a married man something that Winnie the spokesperson and also best friend to late Samantha claimed was a lie.

“All his accusations that Samantha was having an affair with a married man are false. These two met in college and were employed at the same time, while Samantha was stationed in Beitbridge where Tafadzwa would frequent whenever his insecurities grew,” Winnie told H Metro.

She said Samantha was the breadwinner of the family and that they didn’t want anything to do with Tafadzwa’s family.

“We have lost a daughter who was a breadwinner for her mother and sister,” Winnie told H Mero adding that, “The family has been clear on that. The Dzapatas don’t want anything to do with the Murengwas after what their son did to their daughter.”

According to Winnie Samantha refused the car Tafadzwa claimed to have given her but only accepted the I-watch and perfume, which she was willing to return, on the day of the tragedy.

Added to this, Samantha’s younger sister, Gamu, who was present at the shooting, was having nightmares.

“Her death is a huge blow to Gamu. She is crying non-stop and she is having hallucinations from the shooting.

“We pray that she heals and moves past the incident and that the family will soon book her for therapy, after the burial,” she was quoted as saying.

Tafadzwa committed suicide after shooting dead his ex-lover Samantha and left behind a note where he made startling instructions about how he wanted to be buried.
