Dandy Krazy, one of Zambia’s most popular musicians, has died from injuries caused by a road collision on New Year’s Eve.
The 47-year-old – real name Wesley Chibambo – was travelling in Zambia’s Kapiri Mposhi region when his car collided with a truck and a second car.
Three people died at the scene. Dandy Krazy passed away in the early hours of Thursday despite being transported to the University Teaching Hospital in capital city Lusaka for emergency surgery.
President Hakainde Hichilema was among those who paid tribute to the musician, calling him an “extraordinary artist”.
“His music and charisma touched lives far and wide, crossing all boundaries and bringing people together,” Hichilema wrote in a Facebook post.
