Mwenezi- A dark cloud has engulfed the community of Mwenezi West’s Sosonye area following the death of a 13-year-old boy on (Saturday) May 14, when a donkey-drawn cart which he was guiding lost control and overturned, fatally crashing his head.
Tinomutenda Ngwenya who was doing grade seven at Mwenezi Government Primary School was guiding a donkey-drawn cart alone early in the morning of Saturday when the freak accident occurred.
Mwenezi Primary School Head Wilfred Ndlovu confirmed the tragedy saying the boy was trapped for almost two hours before a passer-by alerted his family.
“The boy was one of our grade seven pupils and we are really saddened by his untimely death. The incident occurred when he was coming from his aunt’s homestead.
“Although the deceased is the only one who knew what really transpired since he was alone on the fateful day, from the look of things it is assumed his donkey-drawn cart went upside down after hitting a pole trapping him inside and crashing his head.
“The accident only came to light after a minor passed through the scene and he immediately alerted the boy’s mother only to rush to the scene and found the boy already dead,” said Ndlovu.
