Own Correspondent|FIRST Lady Auxillia Mnangagwa on Thursday stopped her motorcade in Kwekwe to coincidentally assist a Zanu PF MP who had been involved in a road traffic accident.

Reports initially indicated that Mrs Mnangagwa had in fact been involved in the accident herself until Information Ministry secretary, Nick Mangwana issued a statement dismissing the claims.

Mangwana said it was instead Zvishavane-Ngezi MP, Dumezweni Mahwite who was involved in the accident.

“The First Lady’s cavalcade was not involved in an accident in Kwekwe. In fact, Zvishavane-Ngezi MP, Hon D. Mahwite was involved in an accident involving a minor. The First Lady and her team stopped to render assistance to the accident victim,” said Mangwana.

Last month, one of Mnangagwa’s security aides died on the spot after one of the vehicles in her entourage was involved in an accident in Muzarabani. Two other security aides were injured and hospitalised.

In April, Auxillia Mnangagwa in the company of her husband President Emmerson Mnangagwa stopped their motorcade to attend to a disabled man living in the streets of Amaveni, Kwekwe. The couple ended up donating a wheelchair to him.

According to state media, the first couple noticed the man while they were in their motorcade and stopped to chat with him.
