President Robert Mugabe's long motorcade was on Wednesday involved in two separate accidents while traveling to his rural home, Zvimba.

Mugabe was on his  way to a funeral.

One of his outriders knocked down a vagrant and moments later a land cruiser burst a tyre.

Several security details were injured and rushed to Kutama Hospital.

Eye witness say the one of the first outriders that clears the way for Mugabe hit a vagrant near Pamuzinda Hide out.

The second accident occurred  near  Murombedzi Growth Point.

"There was no fatality and all people involved were taken to Kutama hospital. The land cruiser burst a tyre in the accident," George Charamba who is Mugabe's spokesperson told the media.

This is not the first time that the presidential motorcade has been involved in accidents.
