He said one of the motorcyclists, Silent Faro, who was coming from a feeder road, failed to give way to his counterpart, Richard Shorwa, leading to a collision.
The two bikers were taken to Bonda Mission Hospital, where they died upon admission.
“Richard Shorwa (26) was riding an unregistered red Lifan motorbike, while Silent Faro was riding an unregistered blue motorcycle,” said Asst Insp Chinyoka.

“Faro was cycling along an unnamed feeder road towards Nyarumvurwe main gravel road intending to cross the main road leading to Nyanga.
“On approaching an intersection on the unnamed road, Faro, who was on the feeder road, failed to give way to Shorwa, which resulted in a collision at the intersection.”
