Former Hurungwe East MP Sarah Mahoka died in a road traffic accident yesterday evening at Buffalo Downs near Karoi.
Mahoka was travelling towards Karoi when a haulage truck that was travelling towards Harare allegedly encroached into her lane resulting in a head on collision .
The accident occured at Buffalo Downs, less than 3km from her farm.
Mliswa described the former Mashonaland West Zanu PF Women’s League chairperson as a “bulldozer, hard worker and great politician.”
“Her husband, her son and their driver are also in hospital but they all should fully recover.
“It’s very unfortunate that she won’t be recognised for her sterling work, standing for women, because of internal differences in Zanu PF. She deserves to be a provincial hero but alas, due to internal frictions she won’t be so recognised,” Mliswa said.
