VINCENT TAFIRENYIKA, the Director of National Association of Youth Organisations (NAYO) and a top MDC-T activist, died on the spot Saturday night while coming from Sanyati on his way to Harare.
ZimEye.com can reveal Mr Tafirenyika together with two other men, the driver, and another relative who had on Saturday travelled to Sanyati for a traditional marriage ceremony, died in their vehicle around 7pm Saturday. Other passengers are said to have sustained serious injuries and are currently receiving vital medicals.
The accident occurred just after Chegutu following a disastrous attempt to overtake a vehicle leading in front. “On their way back after Chegutu they wanted to overtake and they had a head on collision at a blind turn”, a top family friend told ZimEye.com

His body was taken to Chegutu hospital and will be soon taken for burial.
Tafirenyika who was living in Budiriro, leaves behind a family of three children the oldest who was in grade four.
He has been described as a hard working man. Commented MDC Youth Secretary General Discent Bajila: “I’ve known Vincent for sometime.
“He was a hard working young man.. In 2012 I was part of a group that elected him into the founding board of the Friedrich Ebert Stiftung Alumnus Association. We did so because we had trust in him and he didn’t disappoint. His death renders our generation poorer in terms of leadership.
“That means those of us who remain have greater work to do because the void he leaves must be closed,” he said.
