James Mwonzora brother to MDCT Secretary General Douglas Mwonzora died on Monday evening after failing to recover from a road accident that took place on the 6th of March at Watsomba Business Centre(Mutasa District).
Mwonzora sustained serious head injuries after being involved in the mishap while chasing after two speeding vehicles that had collected two absconding girls from St Mathias Tsonzo High where he was the headmaster.
The Toyota Hilux he was driving veered off the road, rolled and plunged in a ditch, killing one school guard on the spot, while seriously injuring him.
St Mathias Tsonzo High is in Mutasa District along meandering Mutare-Nyanga road near Watsomba Business Centre. Mwonzora (53), who was initially admitted at Mutare Provincial Hospital before being airlifted to West End Clinic in Harare, sustained head and chest injuries as well as a broken leg in the accident which killed Uzler Nenohwe (24), a school guard who was in the loading box when the accident occurred.
The other guard, Greatness Mkwindidza (30), who was on the passengers’ seat, was saved by the air bag, and sustained minor injuries and was discharged from hospital on the same day.
Manicaland Police spokesperson Inspector Tavhiringwa Kakohwa confirmed the accident.
