Acting National Traffic Police spokesperson Assistant Inspector Luckmore Chakanza said the accident occurred at the 57km peg along the Harare-Wedza road. The musicians’ Toyota Venture vehicle collided head-on with a T35 truck heading towards Harare.

The other band members — Patrick Jivason, Patrick Masuku, Alvin Sindi and Christopher Jackson — escaped with minor injuries.
