By Kudakwashe Ngwenyama

Seven Great Zimbabwe University students were involved in an accident last week Friday when they were coming from a night club.

Gzu students were involved in an accident when they were coming from a nearby night club around 4am. The students include four boys and three girls. Speaking to one of the student who was involved in the accident, he said that the driver was over speeding and failed to negotiate a corner leading to the car to go off-road. The seven students were lucky to escape death and they were heavily injured.

The driver of the taxi was also injured seriously and they were taken to the GZU hospital. However, because of the serious injuries the driver of the taxi and the students were referred to Masvingo General Hospital where they received treatment and admitted. Close sources to the students involved in the accident said the patients were recovering .

Upper Deck night club have become the leisure center for GZU students. Every Fridays the place is jam-packed with students drinking and dancing. The place attracts many students because the owner of the night club provides free transport to the club. Also this has caused students to be targets of the miners who sometimes robs the students.

One of the students who referred himself as Ras said that “incidents such as these ones can be avoided if the school had its own bar where students would come and enjoy themselves without going far”. Sometimes the taxi drivers are there to be blamed because of their wreck less driving and also driving under the influence of alcohol.
