Youth who threw can at Winky Dee dies after being beaten last night?

 
 
 
The violence that rocked the Zim Dance Hall awards last night has claimed the life of one young fella who threw a can at Ninja President Winky D. The yet to be named young man was not happy that Winky Dee had beat Killer Tee for the Best Male artist award.
 
Livid Winky Dee fans could not stomach their “President” being humiliated like that and are said to have descended on him like a tonne of bricks. The Young Man sustained some grave injuries and was taken to Parirenyatwa where he reportedly succumbed to his injuries.

Winky D shines at Zim-dancehall awards



Winky D walked away the biggest winner on Wednesday night, bagging four accolades at the inaugural Zim-dancehall awards.
The Ninja President, as Winky D is fondly known, scooped the Best Male Artiste Award, Best Social Message Award for his hit “Mafirakureva” which was tied with Jay C’s “Positive”, Best Performer Award and the award for Best Video and Choreography.

There was, however, chaos when a fan believed to be from Killah T’s camp threw a can at Winky D protesting that the results were rigged. This resulted in Winky D’s brother-cum-producer Layaan and his manager, Jonathan Banda, confronting the man and creating a scene.
 
The unidentified fan was immediately whisked out of the venue by the organisers.

Lupita Wins Oscar

 
12 Years a Slave star Lupita Nyong’o won her first-ever Academy Award on Sunday night for her first-ever big screen role, and the significance of the win – nor the significance of the film for which she picked up her trophy – were not lost on the Kenyan starlet.
“It doesn’t escape me for one moment that so much joy in my life is thanks to so much pain in someone else’s,” the 31-year-old actress said, accepting her Academy Award through tears.
Nyong’o, who played the slave Patsy in Steve McQueen’s film about Solomon Northop, a free African-American man who was captured and enslaved for 12 years in the mid-1800s, thanked McQueen for his dedication to the film, telling the director that  “you charge everything you fashion with the breath of your own spirit.”
“Thank you so much for putting me in this position,” she went on.
The actress also thanked star Chiwetel Ejiofore, who played Northop, for his fearlessness, and saluted the star for “how deeply you went into telling Solomon’s story.”
