HARARE – Former deputy finance minister David Chapfika died in a car crash on Thursday morning.

He would have been 68 next month.

Chapfika, a former MP for Mutoko South, was killed after his Mercedes fell off a bridge and landed on its roof.

The incident took place on the Harare-Shamva Road near Stordon Empire Farm in Goromonzi. Chapfika had a farm in the area.

Former Norton MP Temba Mliswa described the former banker, who once chaired parliament’s public accounts committee, as “quite an intelligent and astute person in many things.”
