NRZ train derails in Gweru

In a bid to sabotage National Railways of Zimbabwe (NRZ), striking workers are alleged to have played a part in a goods train which derailed in Gweru today.

The train was headed for South Africa with more than 1000 tonnes of nickel.

Preliminary investigations indicate that four points along the railway line behind Fairmile Hotel in Gweru were tampered with and covered with sorghum stalks to obscure the engine man’s vision.

This resulted in the derailment of 26 wagons loaded with nickel that was destined for South Africa.
