By A Correspondent | One of Zimbabwe’s top influencers, who has been giving the state sleepless nights with fearless news analyses, Dr Clarence (real name Clarence Patsika) has gone missing, days after his house was allegedly sprayed with radioactive materials.
Over 4 weeks have gone by without a single post updated or published by the YouTuber who runs the TV7Live channel. The tube which was launched in 2011, has grown from zero to a whopping 99,600 subscribers, that is 3 times larger than the state run broadcaster, ZBC, and 4 times the state owned Zimpapers Television Network.
Everything was working well all this while with riveting daily updates particularly late at night that gave the state-run broadcasters a rude run for their money. The steady rise in subscribers continued well until suddenly on the 30th of March, 2021, he broadcast a video of himself announcing that this is his last session before dying. The stream was titled “my final words before I die.” (Video below)
It was at this point that some subscribers contacted ZimEye journos to check on the man. ZimEye only managed some success when after two days of calling he finally answered. He briefly responded with a sigh, saying he would communicate in writing. Without saying much he switched off the phone.
In less than 2 hours however he sent in several pictures saying that all his equipment has been damaged and his house attacked with both acid and radio active materials. He did not disclose the identity of the person who did this.
On the 4th April, he told ZimEye, ” people want to kill me.
“I don’t know who but among them those that steal my art and want to keep me unheard.
” I’ve always been stalked. My place was laced with radio active chemicals, some liquid acid put in my house and all my gadgets burned,” he said.
At this point in time, ZimEye tried to engage him for further detail when he replied saying, “I’ll give u more info when my head clear,” he replied.
A structured study of his last broadcasts suggests serious inconsistencies in his mental probity. ZimEye makes a follow up investigation broadcast today.
