DEPUTY Minister of Information Communication Technology, Postal and Courier Services as well as Chipinge East legislator, Dr Win Mlambo, escaped death by a whisker when a TelOne owned vehicle he was driving was badly damaged after he was involved in an accident on his way to Chipinge on Monday night.

Police confirmed the accident which happened around 10pm.

“I do not have the details of how the accident occurred, but I can confirm that it occurred. Investigations are still in progress,” said Manicaland provincial police spokesperson, Inspector Tavhiringwa Kakohwa.

Investigations by this reporter revealed that the vehicle, a Mazda BT50, grey in colour, was registered in TelOne’s name, with the address of registration given as 107 Kwame Nkrumah, Harare.

When contacted for comment after Wednesday’s parliamentary session, Dr Mlambo went ballistic, accusing this newspaper of writing falsehoods about him.

“What do you need that information for? You want to write that in the newspaper? What for? You see, I cannot say anything to you. Write whatever you want. Last time I gave you my comment, but you went on to fabricate things and wrote things that are not true. Just write what you want,” said Dr Mlambo.

However, this newspaper has it on good authority that Dr Mlambo was involved in an accident on his way to Chipinge when the TelOne vehicle (Registration Number ACX 8629) he was driving hit two beasts along Mutare-Masvingo Highway on Monday night.

The accident occurred barely a month after Dr Mlambo stirred controversy following his attempts to address an unsanctioned rally in neighbouring Chipinge South constituency, but Zanu-PF party youths in the area denied him and his entourage access to the intended meeting venue.

Several party heavyweights among them Politburo members, Cde Saviour Kasukuwere, Cde Oppah Muchinguri- Kashiri and provincial chairman, Dr Samuel Undenge rapped the deputy minister for what they termed wayward and divisive behaviour.
