AN Air Force of Zimbabwe (AFZ) helicopter reportedly crashed yesterday near Chibhero College in Mhondoro, but police and army officials were coy on details about its passengers and possible casualties.
Impeccable sources told NewsDay that the crash occurred yesterday afternoon near Chibhero College in Mhondoro.
Military and police details also cordoned off the site, making it inaccessible.
The sources said the crash took place in the area where a helicopter carrying President Emmerson Mnangagwa was forced to crash land after developing a technical fault while he was returning to the capital from his Precabe Farm in Kwekwe.
“The crash was in the same area where Mnangagwa’s helicopter almost crashed,” the source said.
“The road leading to the accident scene was cordoned off, and no one was allowed there. We are not yet aware who was involved in the accident, and if there were any casualties.”
Zimbabwe National Army spokesperson Colonel Alphios Makotore said he could not comment on the matter.
