Bishop Mutendi Mourns Chimanimani Bus Disaster Victims
Zion Christian Church (ZCC) leader, Bishop Nehemiah Mutendi, said the church will provide material, psychological and spiritual support to the families and survivors of the Chimanimani bus disaster.
Thirty-six (36) ZCC members were killed while 70 were injured when a St Charles Lwanga High School bus in which they were travelling crashed in Chimanimani on Thursday night.
The bus, which was carrying 105 passengers en route to Mbungo for an Easter gathering, lost brakes on a steep slope about 5km before the Jopa turn-off before it veered off the road and rolled over 200 metres downslope.
The accident was declared a national disaster by President Emmerson Mnangagwa on Friday.
In a statement on Saturday, Bishop Mutendi said the church was praying for the departed and the families of the victims. He said:
