BULAWAYO City Football Club team doctor Mkhokheli Nyala
cheated death by a whisker on Saturday night when the car he was traveling in
overturned four times just before the Fairbridge tollgate along Bulawayo-Gweru
road.
Nyala was travelling back to Bulawayo with his work mate
from Ngezi Mhondoro where they had gone on an assignment.
A visibly shaken Nyala, who sustained a swollen left eye
and a bruised backborne, said the only thing he remembers was when his
colleague, who was driving was taking out a bank card to swipe at the tollgate.
“It was all well from our point of departure and we were
looking forward to getting home. My friend was just joking about paying
tollgate fees as he attempted to take out his card, it was the last thing I
remembered but briefly I felt the car rolling, severally times, and luckily we
all had our seat belts on. I thank God that we lived but it wasnt a pleasant
experience,” said Nyala, speaking from his flat at Mpilo Central Hospital.
Bulawayo City chairman Jerry Sibanda, expressed his
gratitude to God following the team doctor’s lucky escape from imminent death.
“He has just come on board and we were all happy with his
services so far. I just cant imagine how we would managed had the worst
happened but look, its all thank you to the Almighty,” said Sibanda.
Nyala thanked his colleagues at Mpilo Central Hospital who
were quick to attend to him and render all the professional counseling and
medical attention.
“I also salute my wife, Sandile, her support and
encouragement has been superb, including all family members,” said Nyala.
