Gutu West independent candidate, Christopher Mutonhori Rwodzi has died.
The Mirror reported that Rwodzi died on Thursday night after his vehicle overturned at a bridge along Chivhu-Harare Highway.
Rwodzi’s father is said to have confirmed the fatal accident which occurred as the aspiring Member of Parliament was travelling to Harare from Gutu.
A picture of Rwodzi’s car, which had overturned, has been circulating on social media.
The image was apparently captured at night, and below an inscription of Rwodzi’s full name on the car, appears “Gutu West: Independent Candidate 4 ED”.
According to a report, Rwodzi was the husband of Ministry of Environment, Climate, Tourism and Hospitality Industry deputy minister Barbara Rwodzi.
He was prevented from running in the ZANU PF primaries that were held in March this year.
A report by The Herald over a decade ago, described Colonel Christopher Mutonhori Rwodzi as a patriotic Zimbabwean who did not leave the country as others had done but had “put their country first by sticking it out”.
At the time, Rwodzi had a company in the milling industry called Mugandani Enterprises, which traded as Muga Foods.
