FORMER Air Force of Zimbabwe (AFZ) Commander Retired Chief Air Marshal Elson Moyo survived a car accident on Tuesday afternoon while driving from his Concession Hill Farm near Chegutu.
The 67-year-old was driving alone when he failed to negotiate a curve, causing his vehicle to veer off the road to the right. The car struck a tree before coming to rest on its wheels.
Moyo was retired from active service on 15 March 2024.
The former commander survived in a development that would have seen him become the latest statistic to a growing number of serving and ex-military officers who have passed on in recent years.
His accident reminds me of the death of Chindori Chininga who allegedly lost control of his car and hit a tree in the same fashion.
Recently, Obert Mpofu, top ranking Zanu PF official admitted the party lost 197 cadres most of whom were generals.
