HARARE – Renowned Zimbabwean lifesaver and Biker coach, Victor Kazembe, widely known as Coach Rambo, is fighting for his life at a private hospital in Harare after sustaining catastrophic injuries in a horrific road traffic accident along the Harare-Bulawayo Highway on Saturday evening.
The veteran biker and emergency responder was traveling on his motorcycle from Norton toward Harare when a commuter omnibus, commonly known as a kombi, rammed into him. The high-impact collision left Kazembe with multiple broken ribs, a punctured lung, severe head trauma, and a shattered jaw that requires immediate reconstructive surgery.
Fellow riders from the local biker community quickly mobilized at the crash site, orchestrating his evacuation from the wreckage to Norton Hospital for initial stabilization before transferring him to the Avenues Clinic in the capital city, where medical staff currently list his condition as stable but critical.
The incident has triggered widespread shock across the motoring and fitness fraternities, prompting the biker community to launch an urgent public appeal to raise eight thousand seven hundred United States dollars required to fund his initial emergency treatment and specialized examinations. According to representatives coordinating the emergency fund, the requested amount will directly cover the looming maxillofacial surgery, advanced computed tomography scans to assess his head injuries, and high-dependency care for his respiratory trauma.
Family members and community coordinators have appealed to the corporate world, the sporting fraternity, and the general public for financial assistance and prayers, emphasizing that the victim has spent decades risking his own life to save others in distress and now desperately requires a lifeline himself.
National police authorities have since launched an investigation into the exact circumstances surrounding the highway collision, amid rising public anger over the continued recklessness of commuter omnibus drivers on major national routes. Meanwhile, the Kazembe family has expressed profound gratitude to the first responders and the broader public for the overwhelming influx of emotional and spiritual support during this distressing period. Well-wishers looking to contribute to the medical fund are being directed to verified family and biker association representatives to access official donation channels
