He was 59.

Mr Muvirimi died at Dandaro Hospital in Borrowdale on Thursday around midday.

He had not been feeling well since 2009.

While the state owned Herald did not disclose the name of the illness, it has been public knowledge that he was an AIDS patient for several years.

Futhermore, impeccable family sources told ZimEye, Magaya was in a panic on Friday night since he has for a while claimed he can heal people of the disease using his banned Aguma medication. Magaya was arrested and then convicted for marketing it, and at least 4 other people have been killed in the last year after taking it.

Aguma which was banned by by the medicines control board, causes damage to the kidneys and lungs.

Magaya told the Herald his father died after suffering damage to his lungs. However Magaya claimed the damage was due to an attack “by robbers,” at the family home in Waterfalls.

Magaya told the Herald his father’s condition ‘worsened after his lungs were damaged during the attack.’

Last year Magaya telephoned ZimEye.com seeking to bribe so that his scandal is not exposed.

Impeccable recordings say Magaya who does not use condoms on his many victims, is an AIDS patient himself.
