President Mnangagwa has sent his condolences to the families of the 22 people who died in a head-on collision accident involving a Toyota Quantum minibus and a DAF truck along the Bulawayo-Beitbridge road on Tuesday, while also wishing those injured a speedy recovery.

Further, President Mnangagwa announced in a statement that the 22 victims will be accorded State-assisted burials.

“The death of 22 Zimbabweans in a head-on collision along the Bulawayo-Beitbridge Highway on Tuesday night left me horrified and heart-broken. What adds to the horror is that this accident comes barely days after two separate similar ones in which nine innocent lives also perished.

“Zimbabwe does not deserve this at all, let alone such a bloody beginning to this year’s festive season,” he said.

“Government will weigh in by according victims of this horrendous crash State-assisted burial.”
