11 Zimbabweans were killed when the Ford Ranger they were travelling in hit a donkey and rammed into a tree in Botswana. Eight of the deceased are from Malila village in Tsholotsho under chief Gampu.
Chief Gampu whose jurisdiction covers Masila Village confirmed that most of the accident victims were from his area.
The eight are the vehicle's driver, Mansen Ncube, 35; Langelihle Phiri, 23; Davison Sibanda; Eunice Moyo; Sharon Moyo; Liston Mlilo; Boniter Ncube and Nozithelo Sibanda all from Masila Village, Ward 16 area in Tsholotsho.
Five men, five women and a child were killed and seven others escaped with severe injuries after the South Africa- bound minibus hit a donkey and then rammed into a tree on Sunday morning.
The accident occurred along the Palapye-Martins Drift Road in the neighbouring country.
According to Botswana police only the driver had a passport - suggesting all his 17 passengers were illegal immigrants. The injured were admitted at Palapye Primary Hospital.
