AFM pastor's 'drunk' son in fatal accident

The son of an AFM pastor stationed at Ngundu Halt business centre has died after he lost control of a car he was driving as he is alleged to have been drunk.

It is alleged that Preacher Kwakwa was driving under the influence of alcohol when he lost control of a Honda Fit he was driving. The accident happened at Museva, seven kilometers from Ngundu on Saturday at around midday.

It is believed that Preacher who had been drinking with his friend at Ngundu borrowed the car from a church mate identified as Precious as he intended to bring his girlfriend who was at Museva along the Masvingo road to Ngundu.

According to eye witnesses the deceased did not wear his seatbelt and when he tried to avoid a haulage truck with an abnormal load that was headed for Beitbridge, he lost control and when the car swerved he hit his head against the dashboard resulting in his death.

The deceased was in the company of his girlfriend and friend who walked away without any injuries whilst the car was partially damaged on the driver's side.

Police Spokesperson Inspector Charity Mazula confirmed the incident. Preacher was buried in Zaka on Wednesday.
