Retired football legend, Zenzo Moyo‘s phone was temporarily transformed into a switchboard as friends, relatives and fans called him when a headline that said: “Zenzo Moyo Hangs Self At His Bulawayo Home” appeared in the press this past week, The Chronicle reports.
Speaking to the publication the former Highlanders Striker said:
Look, I’m alive and kicking. I got lots of calls saying I was dead. They were so disturbing especially to my family and some of my close friends. Some even rushed to confirm I was dead without even reading the whole story.
They called my close associates, saying they saw a headline that I had committed suicide last Sunday and as the week progressed, I started receiving calls from my former teammates who are abroad, family, friends and supporters who were checking if I’m alive.
The Zenzo Moyo who was referred to in the article that caused the frenzy was a teacher who was involved in a scholarship scandal.
