adminThe acting provincial police spokesperson for Matabeleland South, Sergeant Loveness Mangena, said the accident occurred on Saturday at about 2pm at the 49km peg along the Shangani-Mbembesi Road.
“The victim was coming from his farm at Fort Rixon and driving towards Bulawayo and on approaching the 49km peg, the rear left tyre burst, resulting in him losing control of the car, an Isuzu Twin cab. It then veered off the road and overturned before landing on its roof,” said Sgt Mangena.
She said Mr Mpofu sustained severe body injuries and he was rushed to the United Bulawayo Hospitals (UBH) where his condition is reportedly unstable.
Sgt Mangena said investigations were under way.
