A popular Bulawayo socialite Mr Bhekimpilo Bhebhe was last night killed in probably one of the most horrific road accidents on the accident prone Gwanda – Bulawayo road twenty five kilometres from Gwanda town.
“The car was traveling at a very very high speed towards the curve and there was a sudden burst the next thing we saw the car flying over the fence hitting hard on the ground and spinning in the air before hitting on a tree,” an eye witness described the accident.
The two people who were in the car were thrown out of the vehicle with Bhebhe dying on the spot. The driver of the vehicle is reportedly fighting for his life at the United Bulawayo Hospitals.
Police in Gwanda confirmed the fatal accident without giving details.
The eyewitnesses however blamed the police and emergency services for taking too long to attend to the scene. The shocked villagers said it took the police and ambulance from Gwanda just twenty five kilometres away two hours to attend to the accident.
“The man who died, passed on right in front of us while we looked on. He was the better off the two because he was initially able to try to stand up and talk but was bleeding too much until he passed on before the ambulance arrived from Gwanda,” lamented one eyewitness.
Authorities at Gwanda hospital would not comment on the matter.

In this case, yes we can blame the driver but the bottom line is emergence services should always be on time! Accidents do happen under varied circumstances and as a way of mitigating against them, the emergence service should always be ready. Thanx to our failing economy, this cannot be anymore. RIP. #ThisFlag.
