Crime and Courts Reporter- A number of soldiers from the Presidential Guard Unit are feared dead following a severe collision between two military vehicles in Mvuma.

The vehicles, which reportedly belonged to President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s security detail, collided yesterday under unclear circumstances.

Reports circulating on social media suggest that one of the army vehicles may have been travelling in the oncoming lane, leading to the tragic incident that left an unspecified number of soldiers dead or injured.

Efforts to reach the Zimbabwe National Army spokesperson, Colonel Alphios Makotore, and police spokesperson Paul Nyathi for confirmation were unsuccessful.

Both the Army and police traditionally take time to release statements on incidents involving the security services, often to avoid causing public alarm or unrest.
