A SOMBRE atmosphere engulfed Rujeko suburb in Chinhoyi when Tendai Matumba (5) was early Friday crushed to death after a neighbour’s 5 000-litre water tank fell onto a cottage in which the minor and her family members were sleeping in.
Tendai’s sibling identified as Tatenda (9), her father Peter Matumba and mother were seriously injured and rushed to Chinhoyi Hospital where they are admitted.
The water tank overlooked the two-roomed cottage and they were separated by a precast wall a few meters apart.
Narrating the tragedy to NewZimbabwe.com at the scene of the accident, an eyewitness Sibisisiwe Nyamachewa said Rujeko suburb residents were awakened by a loud bang around 4 am, prompting them to come out and investigate only to be met with screams for help from the occupants trapped under the debris.
