Gweru -Council’s newly appointed Acting Town Clerk Livingstone Churu was involved in a horrific car crash with the local authority’s service vehicle but escaped with no injuries barely a day after assuming the post on February 21.
Council Public Relations Spokesperson Vimbai Chingwaramise confirmed the incident saying Churu was involved in the accident around Norton along Gweru-Harare road in Norton.
Churu was appointed as acting Town Clerk on Monday this week, taking over from Vakai Douglas Chikwekwe who was requested to recuse himself from duty following his recent arrest by the Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission (ZACC) on allegations of criminal abuse of office.
The US$176 000 Toyota SUV was bought for use by former Town Clerk Elizabeth Gwatipedza in 2019.
