Michelle ‘Moana’ Amuli’s family has decided to bury her remains this Thursday after previously demanding for a DNA test to positively identify her charred remains.

Experts had advised that the process would have forced the family to wait for up to three weeks before burying the remains.

Her sister, Tatts, told reporters on Wednesday that the family had agreed to bury the socialite at Zororo Cemetery, Harare this Thursday.

Moana died with Genius Kadungure and two others in a fatal road accident along Borrowdale Road, Harare early Sunday morning.

The four were coming from Moana’s 26th birthday party held at Dreams Nightclub when Ginimbi’s Rolls and Royce was involved in a head-on collision with a Honda Fit and hit a tree before bursting into flames.

Moana and the two other passengers in the car were burnt to death in the car.

Speaking to the reporters Tatts said video footage taken at the accident scene had been used to identify Moana.

“She will be buried tomorrow (Thursday) her body will arrive home today.

“The person we thought was her yesterday was not her, it was the other lady.

“Today other family members were shown a video of Moana before she was burnt beyond recognition so they can now tell who is who hence her body will be home today and her remains will be buried tomorrow at Zororo Cemetery,” she said.

Meanwhile, her family is pleading for donations from the public to foot her funeral expenses and ‘give her a good and decent send off’.
