rammed his vehicle into a stationery tractor that was stationery in the middle
of the road without the lights or reflectors. Mandimutsira and other officers
then attended the scene and as they were assisting, Dube’s vehicle came from
the direction of Mutare towards Masvingo, he tried to avoid the pile up, veered
of the road and ran over Mandimutsira.
Nyama was
involved in the accident after his farewell party said to have been held at 4/2
