Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>A kombi driver, who was allegedly involved in the Dzivaresekwa accident that killed eight people, has been remanded in custody by Mbare magistrate Batsirai Madzingira after the State opposed bail.<\/p>\n

The driver, Gaylord Hunda (27), is facing charges of culpable homicide and is being represented by Stanley Matandadzi.<\/p>\n

Hunda is expected to return to court on Tuesday for a ruling on his bail application.<\/p>\n

The State alleges that on March 19, 2024, along the Harare-Bulawayo Highway, Hunda was driving a Toyota Hiace omnibus en route to the city centre.<\/p>\n

Hunda allegedly failed to yield to oncoming traffic from the right at an intersection on the highway.<\/p>\n

In an attempt to avoid an accident, Hunda swerved to the left side of the road, where he collided with a truck that was parked on the roadside.<\/p>\n

He also allegedly struck a person who was standing near the road.<\/p>\n

The kombi Hunda was driving was subsequently hit by another truck coming from the right side, resulting in the deaths of eight people.<\/p>\n
