TWO top Marondera Central Intelligence Organisation
officers on Saturday morning died on the spot after their vehicle reportedly
veered off the road and hit a tree before landing on its roof.
The accident occurred around 2am along Ruzawi Road. When
this paper visited the scene four hours after the accident, the wreckage of the
Nissan Hardbody was still there. The vehicle was a write-off.
The deceased are Onias Chindito and Mashoko Ndengu, who
were both stationed at the Hurudza House offices in Marondera.
National police spokesperson Assistant commissioner Paul
Nyathi confirmed the accident.
“I confirm the accident that claimed two lives in Marondera
when their vehicle veered off the road and overturned,” he said.
According to a resident who lives close to where the
accident occurred, the driver reportedly failed to negotiate the curve,
resulting in the truck veering off the road.
“I was asleep when I heard a loud bang. I suspect that the
driver failed to negotiate the curve and car veered off the road. The impact of
the accident suggests that he was also speeding. The local authority should
construct humps at that area as it has become a black spot,” he said.
Marondera East legislator Patrick Chidhakwa said: “This is
terrible. They were at a function in Mahusekwa yesterday (Friday) and we
talked, only to learn about their tragic end today,” he said.
Meanwhile, scores of people converged at Ndengus house in
Cherima, Marondera, to pay their last respects. Newsday
