Gringo’s Last Wishes

The late Gringo Boora was concerned about returning the favour to all the people from his home country Zimbabwe who had helped him and his family during these trying times, even though his health was deteriorating.

A close relative of the comedian revealed that Gringo felt he was letting his family down and was itching to resume taking care of their welfare once he fully recovers. He was admitted at the private hospital for the past six days, thanks to the newly formed Medical and Dental Private Practitioners of Zimbabwe Association under the stewardship of Dr Johannes Marisa. The association facilitated Gringo’s free treatment for the past week after learning about his condition.

Lazarus Boora passed away at the age of 47, and will be laid to rest in his rural home in Rusape on Thursday.

Thank you, Gringo, for making us laugh. You brought lots of light to our lives and you were true to your art. And your legacy will live long after this sad day. Well done, Lazarus #RIPGringo pic.twitter.com/wN4wqVvkRA
