ZiFM Radio presenter’s car after train smash (picture)

This is what remained of ZiFM Radio presenter Ruvheneko Parirenyatwa’s Mercedes after being hit by a train along Chiremba Road in Harare almost two weeks ago. 

Ruvhi as she is affectionately known recounted how she almost lost her life in the early hours of that Friday as she was driving herself to the airport to catch a flight to Johannesburg.

“I don’t usually use the route I used, but I had to by some proudly Zimbabwean products for my family across the Limpopo who had put in orders for different colours of Mazoe, Chicken Flings, Things, Chomp and Nut log,” she said.

“As the train hit me, I heard nothing- or perhaps the impact was so loud that I couldn’t hear it, but there was silence and as my car flew into the air. I felt like I was flying- because I was, literally. It was a light feeling…like I was being carried, or had been given wings.”

Ruvhi escaped with minor injuries.
