A Zimbabwean court has heard how an Ethiopian national in transit to South Africa was left for dead by his colleagues after a car accident. | CdeLENIN

Tsegaye Summu, 28, travelled with others in September last year. In Zvishavane, 180 kilometres northeast of Beitbridge, a Toyota minibus they had hired was involved in an accident. The other passengers escaped unhurt and had to look for alternative transport to proceed with their journey. They left Summu by the roadside unconscious.

State prosecutor Dorcas Maphosa said upon questioning by the police, Summu said he was in transit to South Africa to seek a better life when tragedy struck. However, the state couldn't establish on which date and through which port of entry Summu entered the country.Human Rights Watch criticises SA, Eswatini and Zimbabwe governments in latest report
