Keith Mpame. A growing number of Zimbabweans are coming forward with allegations against Pinways Direct, a vehicle parts and engine supply business reportedly linked to businessman Keith Mpame, after customers allegedly lost thousands of United States dollars in undelivered engine import deals. One complainant says he paid US$1,950 for an engine in March 2025 after being promised delivery within 45 days from Dubai to Harare. More than a year later, the engine has still not been delivered. According to the victim, Pinways Direct was at the time operating from Belvedere in Harare and communicated with customers primarily through WhatsApp groups and Dubai-based phone numbers. “I would like to thank you for exposing fraudulent companies and individuals who are robbing people of their hard-earned money,” the complainant said. “After I made the initial payment, I was told that the engine would take about 45 days to arrive from Dubai to Harare. Up to today, since March 2025, it has never been delivered.” The complainant alleges that after payments were made, communication from the company stopped entirely. “Their contact numbers were later changed from Dubai numbers to NetOne numbers, and since then they no longer respond to messages. I was also removed from their WhatsApp group,” he said. The victim further claimed that the alleged scam may involve multiple WhatsApp groups used to attract customers searching for imported engines and vehicle parts. “These people seem to be running a scam using different WhatsApp groups. They add customers, answer enquiries, give prices, and once payment is made, communication stops completely,” he alleged. In response, affected customers have reportedly formed a WhatsApp support group to coordinate efforts to recover their money and share information. “At the moment, we are about 67 victims in the WhatsApp group,” the complainant said. He also urged other alleged victims to come forward and report the matter to the police. “We encourage everyone who was scammed to report the matter to the police and obtain a case number. This will help us submit a formal request for an official police statement and assist in efforts to bring Keith Mpame to justice.” The complainant further alleged that investigations by the CID Commercial Crimes Division have made little progress. “Investigations at the CID CCD department have stalled, and since last year nothing meaningful has happened,” he claimed. No official response from Pinways Direct or Keith Mpame had been issued at the time of publication, and police had not publicly commented on the allegations. Authorities have repeatedly warned Zimbabweans to exercise caution when making payments for imported vehicles, engines, or vehicle parts through social media platforms and WhatsApp groups, especially where businesses demand upfront payment without verifiable delivery records.

Elizabeth Gwaunza Becomes Zimbabwe’s First Female Chief Justice President Emmerson Mnangagwa has appointed Elizabeth Gwaunza as Zimbabwe’s next Chief Justice, making history as the first woman to hold the country’s highest judicial office. Gwaunza succeeds Luke Malaba, who retires on May 15 after reaching the mandatory retirement age of 75. Before her appointment, Gwaunza served as Deputy Chief Justice under Malaba and has been one of the country’s most senior judicial figures for several years. Meanwhile, Paddington Garwe has been appointed the new Deputy Chief Justice. The appointments mark a significant transition within Zimbabwe’s judiciary, coming at a time when the courts continue to face scrutiny over constitutional matters, governance disputes, and high-profile political cases. Gwaunza’s elevation is also being viewed as a landmark moment for gender representation in Zimbabwe’s legal system, with many legal practitioners and observers expected to closely watch her leadership of the Constitutional Court and Supreme Court. Judicial Service Commission is expected to oversee the formal transition as Malaba exits office after years at the helm of Zimbabwe’s judiciary. Elizabeth Gwaunza

A 36-year-old woman from Zvishavane has been sentenced to prison after defrauding a Masvingo man of US$3,200 in a fake overseas job placement scheme. Samantha Chiedza Gumbo of Eastlea, Zvishavane, was convicted of fraud by Masvingo Magistrate Caroline Tafira Nyoni after falsely claiming she operated a student and job placement consultancy in Europe. Her victim, Takunda Zizhou (28) of Zimre Park, Masvingo, had been seeking employment opportunities in France when he allegedly fell prey to the scheme. According to court proceedings, Gumbo convinced Zizhou that she could secure him a job placement in Europe. Between January and April 2025, Zizhou reportedly made several payments through Mukuru and EcoCash transfers totalling US$3,200. However, the promised job opportunity never materialised, and Gumbo allegedly converted the money to personal use. After repeated failed attempts to recover his funds or obtain the promised placement, Zizhou reported the matter to the police. Magistrate Nyoni sentenced Gumbo to 26 months in prison. Six months of the sentence were suspended on condition that she does not commit a similar offence within the next five years. A further 10 months were conditionally suspended on the basis that she restitutes the complainant the full US$3,200 on or before 4 June 2026. The remaining 10 months were converted to 350 hours of community service at Zvishavane Police Station. Prosecutor Leyton Katsidzira handled the case. Court records also revealed that Gumbo is facing several other fraud-related cases in Harare involving multiple complainants. The pending matters include cases involving Shyleen Venesi, Ngonidzashe Muperere, Margaret Zizhou, Manuel Makuyana, Irene Madhubeko, and Ruvarashe Matashu. Authorities say the case highlights growing concerns over fraudulent overseas job and scholarship scams targeting desperate Zimbabweans seeking employment and education opportunities abroad. Police have repeatedly urged the public to verify the legitimacy of recruitment agencies and consultants before making payments. Samantha Chiedza Gumbo

Hardlife Nyoni A 42-year-old man accused of masquerading as a Zimbabwe National Army (ZNA) officer and extorting money from desperate job seekers has been arrested by the Military Police in Harare. The suspect, identified as Hardlife Nyoni, a general hand at Mkoba Teachers College, was apprehended in Harare’s Central Business District on 13 May 2026 following a tip-off from members of the public. According to the ZNA, Nyoni allegedly posed as a senior army official using the alias “General Talent Nyoni” in WhatsApp recruitment groups, where he falsely claimed to be facilitating enlistment into the Zimbabwe National Army. Investigators say one interested applicant contacted Nyoni seeking assistance with recruitment. The suspect allegedly told the job seeker that he lacked the necessary qualifications but could still secure entry into the army if he paid US$100 to “process” the application. Suspicious of the arrangement, the prospective recruit alerted Military Police officers, who organised a sting operation. The meeting was arranged outside Harare Central Police Station, where Nyoni allegedly expected to receive the money. Military Police officers moved in and arrested him on the spot. Authorities said Nyoni was found in possession of academic certificates and a pair of handcuffs, items investigators believe were being used to create the appearance of legitimacy and authority. During questioning, Nyoni allegedly admitted to defrauding another victim of US$200 using the same recruitment scam. He has since been handed over to the Zimbabwe Republic Police for further investigations. In a statement, Zimbabwe National Army Director of Public Relations Colonel Hlengiwe Dube warned the public against falling victim to fraudsters impersonating military personnel. “The Zimbabwe National Army does not use third parties during recruitment processes and no applicant is required to pay money to secure enlistment,” she said. Colonel Dube urged members of the public to report suspicious recruitment activities to the nearest army camp or police station. The army also released contact numbers for reporting recruitment scams and impersonation cases. The incident comes amid rising reports of fraudsters exploiting high unemployment levels by targeting desperate job seekers with fake recruitment schemes linked to government institutions, security services, and private companies. fake ZNA officer

Brighton Chiuzingo A former paymaster with Zimbabwe’s Salary Service Bureau (SSB), which falls under the Public Service Commission (PSC), has appeared in court facing allegations of fraud after allegedly inflating his own salary and those of 26 other employees without authorisation. Brighton Chiuzingo, 59, who reportedly served as a paymaster between 2010 and 2021, was arraigned before Harare magistrate Ruth Moyo last week. He was remanded to a later date pending further investigations. According to court papers, the complainant in the matter is the Public Service Commission, represented by Secretary Sibusisiwe Zembe. Prosecutor Takudzwa Jambawu told the court that the alleged fraud dates back to 2018, when Chiuzingo is accused of unlawfully manipulating the government payroll system to increase salaries for himself and 26 payroll and pensions administrators. The State alleges the salary adjustments were made without the approval of the PSC secretary, who is legally required to authorise such changes. Investigators say the alleged irregularities first came to light in November 2018 after then-PSC general manager Clemence Chiweshenga reportedly detected anomalies while reviewing employee payslips. The suspicious salary discrepancies triggered an internal audit conducted on 4 December 2018 by Chief Internal Auditor Owden Nhimura. According to the prosecution, the audit uncovered evidence suggesting that the payroll system had been manipulated, resulting in unauthorised salary increments. The State claims the alleged fraud prejudiced the Public Service Commission of approximately US$39,903, with no recoveries made to date. Chiuzingo is now facing fraud charges as authorities continue investigations into the matter. The case adds to growing scrutiny around public sector payroll management and accountability within government institutions, amid recurring concerns over ghost workers, payroll leakages, and internal financial controls in Zimbabwe’s civil service.

Hezy Motors Logistics director Hazel Mafu The Zimbabwe Republic Police has launched a public appeal for information leading to the arrest of Hazel Silibaziso Mafu, who is wanted in connection with alleged fraud cases involving more than US$155,000. Police allege that Mafu, the director of Hezy Motors Logistics Private Limited, was involved in a series of vehicle importation deals between 2022 and April 2026 that allegedly left at least 20 complainants out of pocket. According to police, the company advertised vehicle importation services through social media, electronic platforms, and print publications, presenting itself as capable of sourcing and delivering imported vehicles within agreed timelines and at competitive prices. In a statement issued on 13 May 2026, ZRP spokesperson Paul Nyathi said authorities are now seeking public assistance to locate the suspect. “The Zimbabwe Republic Police is appealing for information which may lead to the arrest of Hazel Silibaziso Mafu, who is being sought in connection with several cases of fraud committed between 2022 and April 2026,” Nyathi said. Police allege that clients were persuaded to pay varying amounts of money for vehicle purchases and importation services after being attracted through extensive advertising campaigns. “Through these advertisements, the suspect misrepresented that she had the capacity to source and deliver motor vehicles within specified timeframes at competitive prices,” police said. Authorities claim that after receiving payment from clients, the vehicles were allegedly never delivered. “Consequently, several Zimbabweans reportedly engaged her and paid varying amounts of money for the purchase and importation of motor vehicles. However, after receiving payment, she allegedly failed to deliver the vehicles.” Police say 20 complainants have so far filed reports linked to the alleged scheme, with the total reported prejudice currently standing at US$155,211. Investigators have not yet confirmed whether any recoveries have been made or whether additional complainants are expected to come forward as investigations continue. The ZRP is urging anyone with information that may assist in locating Mafu to report to the nearest police station or contact the National Complaints Desk or the CID Commercial Crimes Division Northern Region. “Anyone with information which may assist in locating the suspect is urged to report to any nearest police station or contact the National Complaints Desk on (0242) 703631, WhatsApp 0712 800 197, or CID Commercial Crimes Division Northern Region on (0242) 703030,” police said. The case adds to growing concerns over vehicle import scams targeting Zimbabweans through online platforms and social media advertising, with authorities repeatedly warning members of the public to verify businesses before making large payments for imported vehicles.

Sleiman Timios Kwidini has sparked controversy after revealing that government officials laughed while discussing last month’s nurses’ strike, saying no one in the world could adequately pay nurses for the work they do. Nurses across Zimbabwe staged a three-day industrial action beginning on 20 April, protesting against low salaries, deteriorating working conditions, and unfulfilled promises of salary adjustments. Many nurses said their earnings were no longer enough to survive amid rising living costs, with some reporting that deductions left them taking home significantly less than expected each month. Public sector nurses are reportedly earning between under US$300 and about US$500 monthly, while unions and health workers are demanding salaries ranging between US$600 and US$800. Speaking during International Nurses Day commemorations at The Avenues Clinic, Kwidini addressed nurses, hospital executives, students, and government officials, arguing that nurses perform work so valuable that only divine reward could truly compensate them. “We were laughing the other day, discussing the industrial action by public health institution nurses,” Kwidini said. “We asked ourselves if there is anyone in this world with the capacity to adequately pay a nurse. A nurse cannot be paid by anyone, and only God can reward a nurse.” His remarks are likely to intensify frustration among healthcare workers who have repeatedly raised concerns over poor wages, staff shortages, and difficult working conditions in Zimbabwe’s public health sector. Kwidini also cautioned nurses against expecting the government to fully meet their salary demands immediately, citing financial limitations facing the State. “Even if, as nurses, you demand any amount of money, it can never be enough,” he said. “It doesn’t make sense to break the bank for nurses, yet we do not have enough money; that would be a lie, but your welfare will be gradually improved.” The comments come at a sensitive time for Zimbabwe’s healthcare system, which continues to face staff shortages, migration of skilled health professionals, and mounting pressure over deteriorating service delivery at public hospitals. The nurses’ strike in April exposed growing tensions between the government and healthcare workers, many of whom say they are struggling to afford transport, rentals, and basic necessities despite working long hours under difficult conditions. Critics have argued that comparing nurses’ sacrifices to spiritual reward risks trivialising legitimate labour concerns, especially as healthcare professionals continue demanding meaningful salary reviews and improved workplace conditions. Kwidini’s remarks also follow recent public debate over the dignity and treatment of nurses after videos circulated online showing uniformed nurses dancing for cash during a public event attended by businessman and presidential adviser Paul Tungwarara’s daughter, Tinotenda Tungwarara. The incident triggered widespread criticism, with many Zimbabweans arguing that healthcare workers were being humiliated amid worsening economic hardship.

A new US$40 million Cheetos manufacturing plant, together with a juice and dairy blending facility, has officially opened in Zimbabwe, in a move authorities say strengthens the country’s industrialisation and manufacturing ambitions. The project was launched by Emmerson Mnangagwa and developed by Varun Beverages, one of the largest beverage bottling companies operating in Africa and Asia. Speaking during the commissioning ceremony, Mnangagwa described the investment as a sign of growing investor confidence in Zimbabwe’s economy. “The added US$20 million investment by Varun Beverages marks industrial diversification, creation of employment opportunities for our people and manufacturing sector integration into both regional and global value chains,” Mnangagwa said. Authorities say the new snack manufacturing facility and beverage blending plant form part of Zimbabwe’s broader industrialisation strategy under Vision 2030. According to company officials, Varun Beverages has expanded significantly since entering the Zimbabwean market around eight years ago. President Mnangagwa said the company initially operated a single production line producing approximately 10 million bottles monthly, but has now grown to six production lines with capacity reaching nearly 120 million bottles per month. The expansion has reportedly created around 2,000 direct jobs and an estimated 13,000 indirect employment opportunities across sectors, including: Transport and logistics Retail and distribution Agriculture supply chains Informal trading networks Ravi Jaipuria also announced an ambitious US$650 million investment programme planned over the next five years. The investments are expected to target: Renewable energy projects Recycling infrastructure Beverage and brewing operations Manufacturing expansion Jaipuria revealed that construction of a 130-megawatt green energy project in Matobo has already begun, with projected costs estimated between US$300 million and US$350 million. “We are putting up a recyclable PET plant. After putting that plant, imports will reduce substantially, and we will be exporting to other countries from here,” Jaipuria said. Nqobizitha Ndlovu said the new manufacturing facilities are expected to strengthen local agricultural value chains by increasing demand for raw materials sourced from Zimbabwean farmers. The upcoming juice and dairy blending plant is expected to create additional opportunities for: Dairy farmers Fruit growers Packaging suppliers Rural transport operators Government officials say the facilities will also help reduce imports while boosting export potential into regional markets. Company executives say strong demand for locally manufactured Cheetos products has already demonstrated Zimbabwe’s potential to become a regional manufacturing and processing hub. Economic analysts say the investment comes at a time when Zimbabwe is seeking to revive domestic manufacturing capacity, attract foreign direct investment, and reduce reliance on imports. The project is also expected to support wider industrial integration into regional and international supply chains. Cheetos plant Zimbabwe

A 35-year-old former fugitive accused of unleashing months of violence in Guruve has pleaded guilty to 10 serious criminal charges, including rape, attempted murder, and robbery. Anymore Zvitsva appeared in court on Wednesday, May 13, where he admitted to the offences and is expected to return on Thursday for a pre-sentence hearing. According to the National Prosecuting Authority of Zimbabwe (NPAZ), Zvitsva carried out what prosecutors described as a “calculated and brutal” series of attacks between October and December 2025. Prosecutors say Zvitsva targeted vulnerable victims during his alleged crime spree, including a 14-year-old juvenile and a 62-year-old woman. Court documents allege that in several incidents, he used shoelaces, wire, and snare cables to restrain victims before dragging them into isolated mountain or bush areas where the attacks occurred. The NPAZ said weapons, including knives, spears, and snare wire, were used to overpower victims. Among the 10 charges are five counts of attempted murder. Prosecutors allege Zvitsva stabbed some victims in the neck, chest, and abdomen while strangling others with snare wire until they lost consciousness. Authorities say the attacks displayed extreme violence and deliberate intent to inflict serious harm. In some cases, Zvitsva allegedly broke into homes at night while wearing a balaclava and attacked sleeping residents. One incident reportedly involved a man being struck with a machete before the suspect stole small household items, including a cigarette lighter, cigarettes, and a soft drink. Police say Zvitsva’s months-long “reign of terror” finally ended following his arrest on January 3, 2026. Investigators said the suspect later led police to multiple crime scenes during follow-up investigations. In one instance, officers reportedly recovered a victim’s red T-shirt hidden beneath a log near an anthill. The case shocked residents across Guruve, where communities had reportedly been living in fear during the period of the attacks. The National Prosecuting Authority confirmed that Zvitsva still faces additional murder-related charges that are expected to be referred to the High Court. “These are grave offences committed with extreme cruelty, and the justice system remains committed to ensuring the safety of the Guruve community,” the NPAZ said. Legal analysts say the guilty plea may influence sentencing proceedings, although the seriousness and violent nature of the offences are likely to weigh heavily during sentencing. The case has also reignited debate around violent crime in remote rural communities and the challenges police face in tracking dangerous suspects operating across isolated areas. Residents in Guruve have welcomed the arrest and prosecution, with many expressing relief that the accused is now in custody. Guruve fugitive

Health and Child Care Deputy Minister Sleiman Timios Kwidini has criticised nurses dancing in uniform, saying the behaviour undermines the dignity and professional standing of healthcare workers. Kwidini’s remarks follow a viral controversy involving Tinotenda Tungwarara, daughter of businessman and presidential adviser Paul Tungwarara, who handed out US$100 notes to nurses during an event at Parirenyatwa Group of Hospitals. Videos circulating on social media showed uniformed nurses performing the popular “Borrowdale” dance to music by sungura musician Alick Macheso, while Tinotenda selected dancers she believed performed best before rewarding them with cash. Speaking during International Nurses Day commemorations at The Avenues Clinic this week, Kwidini urged nurses to maintain professional decorum while in uniform. “Ngatitambei chibhasikoro tisiri mu uniform. Zvinotibvisa chiremera,” Kwidini said. Translated from Shona, the statement means: “Let us not dance to music while in uniform. It is degrading.” His comments drew attention to growing debate around professional dignity, economic hardship, and public conduct within Zimbabwe’s struggling healthcare sector. The incident sparked widespread criticism online, with many Zimbabweans describing the scenes as humiliating and disrespectful to healthcare professionals already battling difficult working conditions and low wages. Critics said the spectacle reduced trained medical professionals to entertainers performing for money in front of political elites and wealthy figures. Others described the scenes as symbolic of deepening inequality in Zimbabwe, where essential workers continue to struggle financially while politically connected individuals publicly display wealth. Several social media users accused authorities of allowing the erosion of professional standards and dignity in public institutions. The controversy comes at a time when many nurses in Zimbabwe continue pushing for improved salaries and working conditions. Healthcare workers reportedly earn an average of around US$262 per month in hard currency, an amount many say is insufficient to meet rising living costs. Labour analysts say worsening economic pressures have left many civil servants vulnerable and financially desperate, contributing to situations where professionals may feel compelled to participate in public displays for financial reward. Healthcare unions have repeatedly warned that low salaries, staff shortages, and deteriorating hospital conditions are fuelling frustration within the sector. The Parirenyatwa incident has reignited wider debate about political patronage, public image, and the treatment of professionals in Zimbabwe. Critics argue that while philanthropy and donations to hospitals are welcome, public acts that appear to turn struggling workers into spectacles risk damaging morale and public respect for professions such as nursing. Others defended the nurses, arguing that economic hardship leaves workers with limited choices and that blame should not fall solely on individuals trying to survive difficult conditions. Meanwhile, Kwidini’s remarks appear to signal growing concern within government circles over the optics and public fallout generated by the incident. Sleiman Kwidini

Speaker Thoko Didiza National Assembly of South Africa has agreed on the composition of a special Section 89 committee that will determine whether there is prima facie evidence to proceed with impeachment proceedings against Cyril Ramaphosa over the controversial Phala Phala scandal. The decision was finalised during a meeting of Parliament’s Chief Whips’ Forum on Wednesday, with political parties agreeing on a 31-member committee structure designed to reflect party representation in the National Assembly. Under the agreed formula: African National Congress (ANC) will hold nine seats Democratic Alliance (DA) will have five seats uMkhonto we Sizwe Party (MK Party) will receive three seats Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) will hold two seats The remaining 12 seats will be distributed among smaller political parties represented in Parliament. However, Pan Africanist Congress of Azania (PAC) and GOOD will not be represented on the committee because both parties currently participate in Ramaphosa’s executive, creating what the parties described as potential conflicts of interest. Parliament said the committee’s composition was guided by National Assembly Rule 154(1), which requires committees to broadly reflect political party strength in the House. According to parliamentary documents: “The effect of giving each party represented in the Assembly a minimum of one member to enable participation by all is that it skews the proportional strength of the House in favour of smaller parties.” Thoko Didiza is now expected to formally request political parties to submit nominations for MPs who will serve on the committee. A proposal to establish a smaller 14-member panel was rejected during deliberations. Under that alternative arrangement: The ANC would have held five seats The DA has three seats MK Party has two seats EFF one seat The remaining smaller parties would have collectively shared only three seats. Opposition parties reportedly argued that the larger committee would allow broader parliamentary representation during proceedings of major constitutional significance. The development follows Ramaphosa’s announcement earlier this week that he intends to seek a judicial review of the independent panel's findings after the Constitutional Court of South Africa overturned Parliament’s 2022 decision blocking impeachment proceedings. The independent panel, chaired by former Chief Justice Sandile Ngcobo, previously found prima facie evidence suggesting Ramaphosa may have: Violated the Constitution Committed serious misconduct Failed to properly account for the theft of foreign currency from his Phala Phala farm in Limpopo in 2020 Meanwhile, Vuyo Zungula, leader of the African Transformation Movement (ATM), has written to Didiza requesting that a motion of no confidence against Ramaphosa also be tabled. Zungula warned against attempts to weaken Parliament’s constitutional oversight role through delays and legal tactics. “The speaker of the National Assembly now carries a historic responsibility to defend the integrity of Parliament,” Zungula said. He further urged political parties committed to accountability to resist attempts to frustrate parliamentary processes through procedural manoeuvres. The Section 89 committee is expected to play a critical role in determining whether South Africa proceeds toward one of the country’s most politically significant impeachment processes since the democratic era began.

Four people were killed and four others injured early Wednesday morning after an Asian Star bus collided head-on with a Mercedes-Benz Atego truck along the busy Harare–Masvingo Road. The Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) confirmed the fatal road traffic accident occurred at approximately 1:30 AM on May 13, 2026, near the 220-kilometre peg close to Mvuma. According to police, the Asian Star bus was travelling from Masvingo to Harare carrying 60 passengers when the driver allegedly attempted to avoid hitting a pedestrian who was on the roadway. In the process, the bus reportedly crossed into the oncoming lane and collided head-on with the truck, which had two occupants on board. In an official statement, police said: “The driver of an Asian Star bus travelling from Masvingo to Harare with 60 passengers on board attempted to avoid hitting a pedestrian, encroached onto the oncoming lane and was involved in a head-on collision with a Mercedes-Benz Atego truck carrying two passengers.” The violent impact caused the bus to veer off the road, overturn, and land on its side. Police said the truck subsequently struck the same pedestrian the bus driver had allegedly tried to avoid. Authorities confirmed that four people died at the scene. The victims included: The truck driver Two passengers are travelling in the truck The pedestrian Four passengers travelling on the bus sustained injuries and were taken for medical treatment. The bodies of the deceased were transported to Mvuma Hospital Mortuary for post-mortem examinations. The latest fatal collision has once again raised concerns over road safety along the Harare–Masvingo Highway, one of Zimbabwe’s busiest transport corridors. The route has recorded numerous fatal accidents in recent years involving buses, haulage trucks, and pedestrians, particularly during night travel. Road safety campaigners continue to urge authorities to improve highway lighting, pedestrian awareness, and enforcement against dangerous driving. Transport experts say fatigue, speeding, poor visibility, and pedestrians walking along highways at night remain major contributing factors in many accidents across Zimbabwe. Meanwhile, the ZRP has urged motorists to exercise caution and remain vigilant, especially at night. Investigations into the crash are continuing. Harare Masvingo Road accident
