He stopped the bus and checked him and discovered he had died.
The Zupco driver drove to a police station and reported the matter.
Mugwindiri’s body was ferried to a mortuary.
The late Mugwindiri’s son, Manley Mugwindiri (24), told B-Metro that his father was suffering from heart disease and had been on medication since 2019.
This is not the first time for a passenger to die on the bus. In January this year, a passenger aboard a Devine Star Logistics bus which was coming from Johannesburg, South Africa, died in Beitbridge.
The man, who was identified as Shingai Ndlovu, was pronounced dead on arrival at Beitbridge Hospital.
In December last year, a Zimbabwean woman died at the Beitbridge border post while waiting on a bus after she had reportedly complained about feeling dizzy and of fatigue and asked fellow passengers to pray for her before she died.
The deaths have always sparked fears among fellow passengers who will be unsure whether the deaths are COVID-19 related or not.
