One Dead After First Lady’s Motorcade Involved In Fatal Accident

 

 

In the last few months, the First Lady’s motorcade has been involved in a series of accidents, in which some of her security officials have lost their lives.

In April last year, the First Lady’s convoy was involved in a fatal accident in which one of her security officers died while 3 others were gravely injured in Muzarabani, Mashonaland Central province. The accident occured when one of the vehicles in the convoy overturned on a rocky embankment. The First Lady, who was on her way from offering assistance to the disadvantaged people living near Zimbabwe’s border with Mozambique, did not suffer any injuries.

A few months later, in July 2020, the First Lady’s motorcade was involved in another accident that saw her Toyota Land Cruiser overturning. The First Lady, who had been heading to Mazowe when the accident happened along the Harare-Bindura Road, escaped unhurt.
