The vehicle, a Toyota Hilux double cab, believed to belong to a miner or mining company, was towing a mining compressor when the incident occurred along Matobo Road at around 6 am.<\/p>\n

It is believed that the vehicle was carrying four males including the driver and two females.<\/p>\n

By last evening, the compressor, the driver and three passengers were still to be located.<\/p>\n

The incident was confirmed by government spokesperson Nick Mangwana through his Twitter handle.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe swept away double cab has been recovered with two bodies. Four is the number of people thought to be missing,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Mangwana urged members of the public to desist from crossing flooded rivers and bridges.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is very important that we desist from trying to cross flooded rivers, roads and bridges. Is it not enough that we are losing people to Covid-19?\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
