A married couple, Petronella Dembetembe Murungweni and Abel Rumbwere, were among the 24 passengers who lost their lives in a fatal crash involving an Urban Connect bus and a haulage truck near Lutumba Toll Gate on Thursday morning. The couple, who were traveling from Harare to their home in Beitbridge, left behind a nine-year-old daughter.
The couple will be mourned in Beitbridge’s Dulibadzimu Township and are expected to be laid to rest side by side at Makakavhule Cemetery. The accident is still under investigation, and the number of injured passengers is yet to be established.
President Emmerson Mnangagwa has declared the Beitbridge crash a national disaster and expressed his condolences to the grieving families. The victims will receive State-assisted burials.
