Mnangagwa Survives 2nd Helicopter CrashBy Political Reporter- Two Airforce of Zimbabwe (AFZ) pilots reportedly lost their lives when a military helicopter crashed in Masvingo on Sunday.
The ill-fated chopper had initially been assigned to transport Vice President Constantino Chiwenga and his security detail to an official event.
However, the Vice President opted not to use the helicopter, allegedly after receiving intelligence of a possible assassination attempt.
While the AFZ has yet to officially confirm the deaths, early reports suggest that both pilots were killed in the crash. “The pilots actually lost their lives,” sources indicated.
Vice President Chiwenga, who skipped the event, was said to be attending a family function in Bulawayo at the time of the incident.
The crash occurred under mysterious circumstances shortly after President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s birthday celebrations at the historic Great Zimbabwe Monuments.
ZimEye is currently gathering more details on the reported deaths and will provide updates as soon as new information becomes available.
