THE singer Josphat Somanje and five members of his Pengaudzoke band were on Monday morning involved in a serious road accident.
The band was coming from a show in Mbare and returning to their base in Marondera when they had a head-on collision near Dema growth point in Seke.
Acting National Traffic Police spokesperson Assistant Inspector Luckmore Chakanza said the musicians’ Toyota Venture vehicle collided head-on with a T35 truck heading towards Harare.
