A series of bad luck seems to be following members of Citizens Coalition for Change members with reports that Norton Member of Parliament, Richard Tsvangirayi, was involved in a car accident on Monday evening while returning from the New Parliament Building.
The accident occurred in the Goodhope area, leaving the MP’s vehicle overturned along the roadside.
It also comes a few days after another member of the political outfit Sengezo Tshabangu was admitted in the ICU after reportedly suffering some food poisoning.
Meanwhile, eyewitnesses at the scene reported that Tsvangirayi’s vehicle, a silver Toyota, lost control and veered off the road, overturning before coming to a halt on its side. Several individuals rushed to assist, and emergency services were quickly alerted.

Images from the scene show the car lying on its side with bystanders, some in football jerseys, gathering around as efforts to assist and assess the situation unfolded. The vehicle appears to have sustained significant damage, though there are no immediate reports of injuries.
Further details regarding the cause of the accident and the condition of Tsvangirayi are yet to be officially confirmed. Local authorities are expected to release more information as investigations continue.
Following a post by Change Radio, Zimbabweans took to the comment section to express their thoughts. Reactions ranged from relief that he was unharmed to criticism, with some suggesting that Tsvangirai, a legislator for the Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC), deserved the incident. Others were puzzled as to how the accident occurred, given the apparent clarity of the road. Here’s what some had to say:

He is a shame to his father’s legacy. That looser and opportunists. An excuse of a man with no spine, moral, values. I am embarrassed
@TendaiSarucher1:
