Jason-Machaya

Machaya sustained serious head injuries when his car, a Landrover Discovery 4, veered off the road and rolled several times, after one of its wheels came off along the Harare-Bulawayo Road.

He was admitted at a private hospital in Harare and discharged early last month to recuperate from home. “I resumed duties yesterday (Monday) and I am feeling much better now,” he said.

“Since I was discharged, I had been going for regular checks, but I now feel fit to start work.”

The accident occurred shortly after Zanu PF had cleared him of charges of fanning factionalism and supporting former Vice-President Joice Mujuru’s camp. The allegations had triggered Machaya’s suspension as Zanu PF Midlands provincial chairperson.
