Nust student shoots himself after being involved in car accident

Tapiwa Zhanje (28), a nephew of Bulawayo businessman and former Zanu-PF Bulawayo provincial youth league secretary for finance Davies Muhambi, allegedly shot himself and died at his Hillside suburb lodgings in Bulawayo after being involved in a road accident in the early hours of Saturday.

Zhanje was driving Muhambi’s Mercedes Benz S600 to Kumalo where he wanted to drop friends after attending a party before he lost control of the car and crushed into a gate and precast wall opposite the Hockey Stadium in Kumalo suburb. Muhambi confirmed the accident to Sunday News and said that he was in Harare when the accident occurred.

According to the owner of the house where the car crashed into, Mrs Debra Mweke the driver ran to the gate and stood there in shock while we were trying to help the people who were in the car. Mrs Mweke said she suspected that the driver thought the passengers had died as he immediately fled from the scene.
