A tragic road accident in Chiredzi on Friday claimed the lives of newly appointed traditional leader Hatisani Mabasa, 82, and his son.

They were travelling in a government-allocated vehicle, which was part of President Mnangagwa’s efforts to enhance the welfare of traditional leaders.

The vehicle was being driven by a driver at the time of the accident.

Burial arrangements will be announced in due course.

Chiredzi District Development Coordinator Lovemore Chisema confirmed the incident.
