A woman is feared dead and several others injured following a minibus accident in Milepa, Chiradzulu District.

According to Tisunge Mulenga, who arrived at the scene, the incident occurred when the driver attempted to avoid hitting a mentally ill man.

Mulenga said the driver was also intoxicated and speeding, despite making only a short trip from Makuwa CCAP to Makuwa CDSS, where he intended to stop for the passengers to eat.

The passengers, who are members of the Makuwa CCAP Church, were in the process of launching a music album at the church.

Meanwhile, the police spokesperson for the district, Cosmas Kagulo, stated that investigations are still ongoing and he is not able to comment further at this time.
