Eastern Region Police Spokesperson Thomeck Nyaude has confirmed of the development saying eight others have been admitted of various degrees of injuries at the Zomba Central Hospital.

The minibus, NU 3353, belongs to Kilimanjaro Tours and was  on its way from Mangochi to Limbe.

It is said that the accident happened as the driver was trying to overtake another minibus and it overturned.

“There is a sharp corner at the place and the driver was over-speeding and trying to overtake other vehicles.

“He lost control and the minibus overturned, leaving the boy dead while him [driver] sustained head injuries and was pronounced dead upon arrival at Zomba Central Hospital,” said Nyaude.

The driver-from traditional authority Mponda in Mangochi-was pronounced dead upon arrival at Zomba Central Hospital while child is reported to have died on the spot.

I was shocked one day to hear a minibus driver boasting ‘sangaigwire iyi ndi ya bwana wa traffic ku area 30’. Indeed when the driver was caught driving the bus without valid documments,he told the police traffic officer kuti ndi yabwana wa ku area 30, it was immediately released. See that;corruption too much. Ma minibus driver ndi amwano ochita kupatsidwa ndi a polisi omwewa – Shit
