Ward 8 councillor Tererai Tererai confirmed the incident and said the deceased has already been buried at his home in Gwara village under Chief Ndanga. Said Tererai: > The boy was patching potholes a few meters from the Murerekwa school turnoff towards Roy when a white guy stopped and offered him US$5 as a token. > When he drove off, he mistakenly racked him with a boat trailer he was pulling and dragged him only to stop after some meters. > The driver later stopped and helped the boy to Ndanga Hospital but he died because he had lost a lot of blood. > The driver assisted the family with US$570 to cater for funeral expenses. Meanwhile, Masvingo Provincial Roads Engineer Robert Mukome has urged parents to forbid children from working on roads. He said: > As a word of advice to parents, please prohibit children from working on highways as motorists will be travelling at very high speed. > The speeding is dangerous to their safety. May this information be relayed through schools within the highway’s corridors as more noise on this notion will help. > Again as a ministry we are still facing some operational challenges constrained mainly on resources. > Management is still engaging all relevant stakeholders to come up with a long-term and sustainable intervention to address this mishap we are encountering. > Let’s continue to exercise patience and caution as we traverse this route, We are working flat out to ensure required resources are availed to address this life-threatening danger posed by the current status of our road.
