By A Correspondent- Two sons to former Masvingo transport mogul Tanda Tavaruva who ran his fleet of buses under the name Mhunga bus company were reportedly involved in a near fatal accident along the Masvingo- Beitbridge highway last night.

The duo, were on their way from South Africa.

Read a statement doing the rounds which is yet to be confirmed by the police:

Ex, Masvingo bus and haulage transport magnet, Tanda Tavaruva’s two sons were last night involved in a near fatal and horrific accident while they were travelling from South Africa heading home.

Godfrey GT, Tavaruva and Shepherd Chikepe Tavaruva were ferried to Masvingo General Hospital. Godfrey broke his hip and is said to be in stable condition while his young brother Chikepe is in a critical condition.

A close relative said plans are underway to transfer Chikepe to Harare.

The two who were driving a Toyota Wish, side swapped with, a haulage truck that crossed into their lane while avoiding a hump near Stevens shops, along the Masvingo-Beit bridge road.”

The Tavaruvas remain a household name in the province following years of blissful bus and haulage transport business that eventually crumbled due to several factors including the economic collapse in the country.
