Herald Reporter

Two people were killed while five others were injured in a road traffic accident involving a bus and a kombi that occurred on Sunday evening 16 km outside Gwanda along the Bulawayo-Gwanda Road.

Matabeleland South provincial police spokesperson, Inspector Loveness Mangena confirmed the sad incident.

Inspector Mangena told Chronicle that the bus was on its way from Bulawayo to Gwanda and was travelling behind a Nissan Liberty when the driver suddenly applied emergency brakes to avoid hitting some donkeys.

In a bid to avoid crashing into the Nissan Liberty, the bus driver then encroached onto the lane of oncoming vehicles and collided with a kombi that was coming from Gwanda and going to Bulawayo.

“I can confirm that we recorded a fatal road accident where two females died,” she said.

“Two people who were in the kombi died while five others were injured.”
