THE National Railways of Zimbabwe (NRZ) headquarters in Bulawayo has suspended the use of the lifts at Parkade Centre following an elevator crash which claimed the lives of two people on Friday.
A notice at the NRZ Pension Fund along 9th Avenue informs the public to use the stairs as elevators were out of order.
Businesses renting the offices on the 23 floors of the tallest building in Bulawayo said they were losing business as clients were not prepared to use the stairs.
Elizabeth Mlangeni and a elevator technician, Kevin Musina were found dead at the company's basement by a technician who was making a follow up on the latter who had not returned to work following a call by NRZ staff over a faulty lift.
NRZ public relations manager, Fanuel Masikati, said he was not in a position to comment on the matter as he had just returned to the country after attending a funeral in South Africa.
"You can contact the acting general manager Mukwanda (Lewis) or the board chairman Mabena (Alvord)," said Masikati.
Mukwanda and Mabena could not be reached for comment.
