Mphoko to attend burials of 11 Tsholotsho accident victims

Vice President Mphoko will attend the burials of some victims of a horrific car accident which killed 11 Zimbabweans in Botswana last week.

Almost all the victims of the crash were from Tsholotsho.

Five men, five women and a child perished after their people carrier, which was driving through Botswana to South Africa, hit a donkey on the Martins-Drift road in central Botswana on January 12.

The Vice President is expected to console the bereaved families and offer material assistance for the burials.

VP Mphoko began his two-country trip with a stop in Mozambique on Wednesday and Thursday to attend the inauguration of President Filipe Nyusi.
