Two police officers from Zvishavane tragically lost their lives in a high-speed chase accident a few days ago when their vehicle overturned on Bulawayo Road, just past the Zvishavane turnoff near Mberengwa.
The accident, which has left the local community in shock, occurred while the officers were engaged in a high-speed pursuit, though the exact reasons for the chase remain unknown. Eyewitnesses reported seeing the police vehicle lose control before veering off the road and overturning. Both officers were declared dead at the scene.
The Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) has not yet provided full details regarding the circumstances surrounding the chase. The public is still awaiting an official statement from ZRP to clarify the cause and the identity of the individuals involved in the pursuit.
This tragic incident has raised questions about road safety and the risks involved in high-speed police chases, especially on rural roads like the Bulawayo-Zvishavane route. As the investigation continues, the community mourns the loss of the two officers, whose names are expected to be released after their families have been notified.
Authorities have urged caution on the roads as investigations into the incident proceed, and more details are expected to emerge in the coming days.
