A Bulawayo family from the “Suburbs” low density area escaped death by a whisker after an old big tree fell on their house, damaging the precast wall that protects them and another neighbour’s homestead.
The two families the Hunt and the Bickles, cheated death when the giant tree said to be President Robert Mugabe’s age, broke into half before falling with a bang that attracted attention of the neighbouring community as well aspassers-by.
The tree which was in the Bickle family’s yard just cracked with a loud sound and before anything could be done, it broke into three parts just before falling on top of the demarcating wall and cottages
No one was hurt.
It all happened in the owner of 61 Clark road Mrs Hunt’s eyes, but she was not hurt. Asked to comment on the situation, Mrs Hunt could not shed more light to ZimEye.com, as she was still in a shock.
Her neighbour at 59 Clark road where the tree broke from, was not available, but the tenant and caretaker Philip Manyange and his wife Mildred could not comment further as he was also shaking in shock since he watched the whole incident as it occurred.
“We are lucky because no one is hurt and we thank God for this. I am now worried about the other trees which we have, and we have asked the tree cutters to come and pull them down,” he said before concentrating on negotiating with the neighbour whose cottage was still covered with the other part of the broken tree.

  7. Joe, firstly it’s the Ides of March. Secondly this is yet another silly header from our friends at Zimeye. It’s sad that we are so fixated with Mugabe that everything leads to mention of his name. Trees fall every day, so what.

  8. Thats a good omen for the Zims. Everything has a beginning and an ending. Beware of the isles of March!!
