PRESS BRIEFING MONDAY 29 AUGUST
ZIMBABWE-LEGISLATOR
HARARE Aug 29 1995 Sapa-Reuter
Zimbabwean politician Sidney Malunga, the government's most vocal
critic, was killed in a car accident late on Sunday, witnesses
and government ministers said on Monday.
The witnesses said Malunga, a member of parliament since
Zimbabwe's independence from Britain in 1980, died after his car
overturned while trying to avoid running over a dog in the
country's second city of Bulawayo.
Although an official of President Robert Mugabe's ruling ZANU-PF
party, Malunga crusaded against state corruption and injustices,
often clashing bitterly with government ministers who accused him
of being a rebel.
Malunga, 50, is the third legislator to die in a car accident in
Zimbabwe this year.-Reuter
