A Toyota Land Cruiser 300 ZX reportedly gifted by businessman Wicknell Chivayo to the late Bishop Paul Mwazha for his 107th birthday in October 2025 has been involved in a fatal road accident along the Harare–Masvingo Highway.
The accident reportedly occurred yesterday evening a few kilometres after Featherstone, as the vehicle was travelling towards Harare. Bishop Mwazha’s son, Ngoni Mwazha, is reported to have been inside the vehicle at the time of the crash.
According to witnesses, the Land Cruiser was allegedly attempting to overtake another vehicle when it collided head-on with a scotch cart being pulled by cattle.
The driver of the Land Cruiser reportedly sustained serious injuries and was taken for medical attention. Tragically, the man who was leading the cattle-drawn cart died at the scene.
A witness claimed that the man had been using the scotch cart to take another person to hospital when the collision occurred.
Images circulating following the accident show extensive damage to the front section of the Land Cruiser, highlighting the severity of the impact.
The incident has once again raised concerns about road safety along the Harare–Masvingo Highway, particularly the dangers associated with overtaking and interactions between high-speed vehicles and slower road users.
Further details regarding the condition of those injured and the circumstances surrounding the crash are expected as authorities continue their investigations.
