Government Offers Burial Assistance To Gweru Accident Victims

Midlands Provincial Affairs Minister, Larry Mavima revealed that the Government has offered $1000 towards the burial of every victim of the Wednesday night Gweru accident.

Mavima expressed gratitude to the government’s gesture towards the bereaved families. He said:

We mourn the deceased together with bereaved families, but I would like to thank the Government for its quick response in assisting the bereaved families with $1 000 each.

I understand some of the victims were related and it’s very sad. I also got information that both drivers were speeding and I think drivers should desist from this tendency.

Mavima further advised that the bereaved families from Kwekwe and Gokwe should visit the Kwekwe District Administrator’s offices to receive their money.
