@maguranyanga @PoliceZimbabwe Both road and bad driving. Besides bad driving are you telling us that the rail crossing had working warning lights and a working boom gate to warn that a train is coming? Like it is supposed to be?? Bad road plus bad driving.

@ShamaseI80733 @daddyhope Someone somewhere didn't do their job properly and should be fired instead of subjecting citizens to such incompetence

Mkoba 10 Stand Up!!! My Mkoba 10 neighbour has talent 🔥🔥🔥. #Gweru #Mkoba

I am deeply saddened by two heartbreaking tragedies that have claimed innocent lives. My heart is shattered by the cruel loss of seven primary school learners in the devastating kombi fire incident in Senga, Gweru. It is painful beyond words to imagine the dreams, laughter and bright futures that were so tragically cut short. I am equally saddened by the cruel loss of lives in Budiriro, Harare where three bodies were recovered from an unsecured sewer pond reportedly left open for months. No family should have to endure such a painful loss. I share in the grief of all the bereaved families and offer my heartfelt condolences. I also wish a speedy recovery to those who were injured. May God grant comfort and strength to everyone affected, and may the souls of the departed rest in eternal peace.

I’m deeply pained by the tragic deaths of seven infant learners who were learning at Matongo Primary School in Gweru. What pains me the most is the fact that these were innocent and have been robbed of their lives and their future due to negligence of the driver. All their aspirations and dreams have been shattered. My deepest condolences go to the bereaved families. May the Almighty comfort you at this very difficult time 😭😭😭. May you find strength in the Lord. I wish speedy recovery to learners who are in hospital.

*Midlands Province Bids Farewell to a Loyal Cadre: Cde Simbarashe Mutukwa Laid to Rest at Midlands Provincial Heroes Acre* ✅Today, Midlands Provincial Heroes Acre in Gweru became a sea of green, black, gold, and red as thousands of ZANU PF cadres gathered with heavy hearts but proud spirits to lay to rest Comrade Simbarashe Mutukwa, affectionately known as “Riot”. ✅The name “Riot” carried weight in party structures ,not for chaos, but for his fearless commitment to defend the principles and ideology of the revolutionary party ZANUPF.From cell level to provincial meetings, Cde Mutukwa was known as a cadre who showed up, spoke plainly, and stood firm when the Party needed men and women of conviction. ✅Presiding over the burial, the Minister of State for Provincial Affairs and Devolution, Midlands Province, Honourable Owen Ncube, delivered the Party’s message. He described Cde Mutukwa as “a loyal son of the soil who dedicated himself fully to the principles, values, and ideology of ZANU PF without compromise.” ✅Honourable Owen Ncube reminded the gathering that loyalty in ZANU PF is not about slogans ,it’s about sacrifice, discipline, and putting the Party and nation first. “Cde Mutukwa never wavered. In times of challenge and in times of victory, he remained rooted in the liberation ethos that birthed this Party,” the Minister said. ✅Turning to the large youth contingent that lined the Heroes Acre, Hon. Ncube urged them to draw lessons from Cde Mutukwa’s life. “You are the vanguard of this revolutionary Party. The struggle did not end in 1980 ,it continues in development, in defending sovereignty, in uniting communities, and in taking Zimbabwe forward under Vision 2030. Follow the good steps of Cde Mutukwa, be disciplined, be loyal, be dependable,” he urged. ✅The call resonated. Young cadres sang liberation songs and chanted Party slogans, a sign that the revolutionary spirit is being passed on. _✅Hamba kahle, Cde Simbarashe “Riot” Mutukwa._ Your loyalty has been noted by the Party, your service recorded by history, and your example left for the next generation. ✅ZANU PF will remember. Midlands will remember. Zimbabwe will remember.
