First Lady Auxillia Mnangagwa has expressed deep sorrow following the tragic death of six members of the Mujuru family, who were killed in a road accident near Mvuma on Thursday, 2 April 2026, casting a dark shadow over the Holy Week.
The Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) confirmed the crash happened at the 246km peg along the Harare–Masvingo Highway.
According to police, Mujuru (40) was driving a Toyota Corolla from Harare towards Zvishavane when she lost control of the vehicle and veered into the path of an oncoming Mercedes-Benz haulage truck.
The two vehicles collided head-on, killing all six people in the Corolla – the driver and her five children – on the post.
In a condolence message shared on X, Mnangagwa described the loss as heartbreaking and said the tragedy was beyond words.
Mnangagwa wrote: “I have received with deep sorrow and a heavy heart the tragic news of the passing of Mrs Lilian Mujuru and her five beloved children, Nokutenda, Makanaka, Ronald Junior, Rufaro Shalom and little Kayden, who lost their lives in a fatal road traffic accident along Masvingo Road near Mvuma.
“This is a painful loss beyond words, a heartbreaking tragedy that has robbed one family of six precious lives in a single moment.
“As a mother, grandmother, I am deeply moved by the sorrow that has befallen the Mujuru family, and I extend my sincere condolences to Mr Ronald Mujuru, the bereaved husband and father, as well as to the extended family, friends and the church community.
“I am imagining the anguish and emptiness that this tragedy has left behind. May the Almighty God grant Mr Mujuru strength and comfort during this unimaginably difficult time, and may the nation stand with him in prayer, compassion and solidarity.
“I also urge all road users to exercise the utmost caution and responsibility on our roads so that we may prevent such devastating tragedies that continue to claim innocent lives and leave families shattered. May the souls of the departed rest in eternal peace.”
