Families Of Schoolchildren Killed By Speeding Vehicle Demand 28 Cattle, US$24 000

The families of three learners from Penhalonga, who tragically lost their lives in a road traffic accident along Christmas-Pass-Shamu Road last week, have put forth compensation requests.

These requests include US$24,000 and 28 head of cattle. Additionally, by their cultural practices, the families have also requested four goats and two cocks.

According to The Manica Post, the demands were made before the burial of the minors.

Sylvian (13) and Strive Maponde (nine) as well as Blessing Chisare (nine) were knocked down by an alleged speeding Toyota Fortuner that was being driven by John Dumbura.

The siblings were buried at their rural home in Marange on Friday last week, while Chisare (nine) was interred at Tsvingwe Cemetery in Penhalonga last Saturday.

John Dumbura was expected to appear in court facing culpable homicide charges.

Assistant Inspector Wiseman Chinyoka, the Zimbabwe Republic Police’s acting spokesperson in Manicaland Province, said the matter will be taken to court once all relevant information, including the Vehicle Inspectorate Department (VID) report, is availed. He said:

Police are still working on the docket, and as we speak, the post-mortem results are already in, but we are still waiting for the VID report.

The matter will be taken to court once all the relevant information has been processed.

The Maponde family’s demands for reparation were reportedly handed over to John’s uncle, Shellington Dumbura. The agreement reads:

On the death of Gift Maponde’s two children, we agreed on March 13, 2024 that: (1) for each of the deceased child, the perpetrator pays 14 cattle, and that means it should add up to 28 cattle for the two children. For each child, they also pay US$5 000: that means 28 cattle and US$10 000 as well as four goats and two cocks.

The Chisare family also entered into a similar agreement with the Dumburas and it reads:

For Blessing’s death, we have agreed that Mr Dumbura pays US$ 14,000. Today, he paid US$1 000, leaving a balance of US$13 000.

Dumbura confirmed that he had reached an agreement with the families of the deceased when contacted by The Manica Post on Tuesday. He said:

I did not argue with them. We accepted what they were demanding. Every place has its traditions, so we just follow what they say.

While we were in Bocha (Marange) where the two siblings were buried, the traditional leader pointed out that they (Mapondes) had charged more than what they were traditionally supposed to.

Their culture stipulates that they should charge seven cattle per child to make them 14 for the two.

The chief also wants three beasts for each child killed, making them six, and a total of 20.

Chief Mutasa said normally, reparations are not paid before the deceased manifests in an avenging spirit, stating what he or she wants.

He added that the demands for money and cattle made by the bereaved family were pure “madness and unlawful”. He said:

Normally, reparations are not paid before the deceased manifests in an avenging spirit, spelling out what he or she wants.

What we do in our area is that when an accident happens or when one is killed in such a way, the perpetrator meets all the funeral expenses; that is the transport, food and coffins.

We bury the deceased and then wait for the deceased’s spirit to manifest and make its demands known.

You cannot say when someone has died today, you wake up the next day demanding reparation. That is madness; it is unlawful.

Meanwhile, the Government, through the Department of Civil Protection (DCP), availed the three coffins and hearses to facilitate the burial of the three children and also provided grain.

It's just a demand of emotions, as soon as the emotions sober down the demands will fall out. Even ma insurance don't cover such extortioate claims. Kana usina you'll be declared bankrupt yofa yakaloader

What if maybe the kids were hit by an unemployed person like me who can barely afford even to buy myself a loaf of bread. Perhaps was sent to deliver mota somewhere by someone then an accident then happens. Vanoita, sei or they charge according to wealth. Some of us se will need 34 years to accumulate 20 cows and 20000

Problem is, they lost their kids, the kids lost their lives as a result of reckless driving. In another story I read that the driver was alleged to be drunk. Zvinorwadza zvisingaiti. Dei kwanga kuchinzi, driver was driving resposibly,, kids ran onto the road and got bumped,,, or even car developed fault and driver lost control, zvirinani. Apa this accident could have been avoided had driver been driving sensibly and concentrating on road, chero achimwa hake doro rake. Ndozvandinogarotaurira shamwari dzanfu kuti idoro here rinoti uchitanga kudraivha kunge benzi? Vangani vanodraivha vambomwiramwira vachisvika zvakanaka kwavanoenda.
