Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>Saturday, 15 October was a sad day at Nyanga District Hospital mortuary in Manicaland Province as heartbroken parents collected the bodies of their children who died in a bus accident on Friday night.<\/p>\n

Police said a Tynwald High School bus veered off the road and overturned at the 75km peg along Rusape-Nyanga road near Pine Tree Hotel around 7 PM on Friday.<\/p>\n

Six pupils, five females and one male were killed in the crash, with several others injured.<\/p>\n

The injured were admitted to Nyanga District Hospital and Victoria Chitepo Hospital in Mutare.<\/p>\n

Speaking in an interview with The Standard<\/b> on Saturday, Nyanga South MP Supa Mandiwanzira (ZANU PF) expressed sympathy with the bereaved parents. He said:<\/p>\n

I was there in the morning at Nyanga District Hospital where a lot of kids who were in the hospital were being collected by their parents.<\/p>\n

Parents were still milling around at the mortuary at the Nyanga District Hospital. It was a tragic sight, very heart-breaking for parents who came to take the remains of their loved ones<\/p>\n

Twenty-four hours earlier they did not think that they would take their young kids in coffins; no parent should go through that.<\/p>\n

I want to express my deepest condolences to the children who also lost their friends and classmates.<\/p>\n

National police spokesperson Assistant Commissioner Paul Nyathi said they were investigating the cause of the accident.<\/p>\n

However, according to a leaked internal police memorandum, the driver, Chamunorwa Machimbidzofa (43), was speeding and failed to negotiate a sharp curve resulting in the crash.<\/p>\n

The memo also revealed that Machimbidzofa was yet to produce his driver\u2019s licence to prove that he was certified to drive a bus.<\/p>\n

The dead are; Anesuishe Hove (14) of Bluffhill in Harare; Beyonce Guyo (15) of Madokero, Harare; Anita Manyuka (16) of Tynwald Harare; Destiny Dziva (14) of Avondale Harare; Kimberly Tarisai Mutusva (15) of Chitepo Heights, Harare and Craig Madanhire (age unknown), a male juvenile.<\/p>\n

Police said Beyonce, Anita, Destiny, Kimberly and Craig died on the spot, while Anesuishe died upon admission at Nyanga District Hospital.<\/p>\n
