Desire Moyo, a prominent Zimbabwean opposition lawmaker and poet, tragically died in a car accident early Friday morning when his vehicle struck an elephant on the Bulawayo-Gweru highway. Moyo was traveling with four other MPs, who were injured in the incident. Eyewitness accounts suggest that the vehicle hit the elephant's backside, leading to a violent reaction from the animal that caused significant damage to the car. Moyo, who was a member of the Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) and served on the parliament's sport, recreation, arts, and culture committee, was remembered fondly for his dedication to the arts and his community. He was set to celebrate his 46th birthday the following day. Tributes from fellow lawmakers and the City of Bulawayo emphasized his hard work and commitment to nurturing Zimbabwe's creative sector.
