Five people were killed in a tragic accident along the Harare-Murewa highway after a private commuter omnibus carrying passengers, bricks, and a tombstone overturned.

Budiriro South Member of Parliament Darlington Chigumbu, who witnessed the accident, confirmed the incident in a post on his X account.

“Today, on my way from Murewa, I witnessed a road accident that broke my heart. A private kombi carrying people, bricks, and tombstones overturned, and five people were killed on the spot. My heart was shattered when I saw two small children lying there, lifeless,” Chigumbu wrote.

The MP urged motorists to exercise caution on the roads, stressing the importance of safety and responsibility.

Witnesses at the scene claimed there was also a dead owl found, sparking conspiracy theories that it might have come from a passenger’s bag.

The Zimbabwe Republic Police is yet to issue an official statement on the fatal accident.
