A video showing the last moments of a Gweru socialite appearing to be in great pain on his deathbed at Gweru Provincial Hospital following a road accident, has gone viral on social media.
The socialite and popular car dealer in the city, Alistair Shingirai Mukosera (30), succumbed to injuries he sustained when the car he was driving hit a pothole before overturning and rolling several times on Monday night.
In the video that is being circulated on WhatsApp, Alistair is seen struggling to breathe and in great pain while lying on the hospital bed.
The person taking the video is heard telling the other person identified as T1 to hold him so that he doesn’t fall from the bed.
By Amanda Chikari“Alistair, dzikama (be calm)…mubate (hold him) T1,” orders an unidentified person to a groaning Alistair and T1 before the video is cut.
Alistair, according to his father, Mr Maxwell Mukosera, was coming from a party in Daylesford suburb in Gweru and was travelling alone at around midnight.
Mr Mukosera however said he had not seen the video which The Chronicle is in possession of.
“I haven’t seen it but if it’s true it’s in bad taste , why would someone do that?” he asked Mr Mukosera said Alistair was driving a Toyota Mark 2 vehicle which veered off the road, overturned and rolled several times after hitting a pothole just before negotiating a traffic circle on the junction of Gweru-Shurugwi road and a road leading to Senga suburb.
