Minister Mary Mliswa-Chikoka Survives Accident - Report
Mashonaland West Provincial Affairs minister, Mary Mliswa-Chikoka survived an accident recently after a speeding commuter omnibus rammed into her a maroon Toyota Land Cruiser Prado VX.
NewZimbabwe.com reports that the incident occurred last weekend along a narrow road in her Hurungwe West constituency.
The crash occurred after she earlier travelled to Kariba alongside justice minister Ziyambi Ziyambi and other senior party officials to mobilise the electorate ahead of this weekend’s Kariba Ward 5 by-election.
Mliswa-Chikoka’s friend, Tommy Mwanza confirmed the accident to NewZimbabwe.com Tuesday. Said Mwanza, a former party provincial security chief:
The minister did not suffer any injuries. The impact was not severe as her car had stopped to pave way for the kombi whose driver rammed his kombi into the minister’s stationary car. Actually, its the kombi driver who sustained injuries.
The minister’s personal aide, Tendai Mautsi, who was not travelling in the vehicle at the time of the accident, did not respond to an inquiry by NewZimbabwe.com.
Mary is a sister to Norton legislator (independent), Temba Mliswa.
