A joyful wedding ceremony ended in death and tears at Chachacha Growth Point in Shurugwi on Saturday when a 14-year-old groomsman died in a freaky car accident during the procession.

Midlands Police Spokesperson Ethel Mkwende said they have not received the report.

According to Masvingo paper The Mirror Response Mapfuti was riding in one of the cars in the wedding procession when the driver lost control, veered slightly off the road and side-swiped a tree.

Mutemeri who had his head hanging out through the window as he celebrated the event crashed against the tree and died. He died on the spot, according to authoritative sources.

This tragedy left a wide rift between some family members at the wedding with others arguing that the wedding should be halted while others advocated for the event to go on.

In the end, wedding was allowed to continue.

“The boy’s death so early into the wedding shocked everyone but of more surprise was the continuation of the event even when there was already a death in the wedding party,” said Madzivanyika.
