A driver and a passenger died along Tokwe-Mhandamabwe Road after the car they were traveling in failed to negotiate a curve on March 15, 2025.
Masvingo Provincial Police Spokesperson Inspector Kudakwashe Dhewa confirmed the death of Tapiwa Chengedza (27) and the passenger who is yet to be identified and encouraged motorists to avoid speeding.
“I confirm the death of Chengedza and a passenger he was carrying who died on the spot when the car failed to negotiate a curve. I urge motorists to avoid speeding to save lives,” said Dhewa.
On March 15, at around 1430 hours Chengedza was driving a Nissan NP300 along Tokwe- Mhandamabwe road with one passenger on board. At a 43km peg along the same road, the car failed to negotiate a curve, veered off road, overturned and landed on the driver’s side.
