Dear Falcon Parents and Guardians,

Following the initial communication sent out, it is with deepest sadness that I write to advise you of the passing of Aidan O’Donovan (Upper Sixth, Tredgold) in the bus accident this afternoon. There are no adequate words at a time like this, and we are all deeply affected.

We have chartered a flight for Aidan and Lana’s parents, and they are en route to Bulawayo now. Please keep the O’Donovan family, and everyone who loved Aidan in your thoughts during this incredibly difficult time.

Bradley Wentzel suffered a broken arm and is at the Mater Dei hospital in Bulawayo with his parents. There are a few children and staff with minor cuts and injuries. They are also at the Mater Dei being treated and checked out.

Mr Kirkman will issue a further statement as soon as possible.

We appreciate that many of you will want to send condolences and messages to Mr Kirkman and the O’Donovan family. You are welcome to channel these through admissions@falconcollege.com and pa@falconcollege.com while the family and Headmaster deal with this tragedy.

Yours sincerely,

Mr Phillip Whaley Chairman of the Board of Governors.”

So so sad, what has come of these roads these days, Rip young,

What happened? Driver negligence? Its not a "danger zone". It only happens to be a sort otmf "Boterekwa" of Bulawayo Esigodini road, curvy and sloppy. But the road is so wide and smooth. All obe has to do is to keep to your side of the road, drive at low speed to allow you to negotiate the curves and slopes, and basically exercise caution. The road is not bad at all. Drivers simply need to use common sense there. Rest in peace young man,, and may the injured recover fully in the shortest time... very sad day indeed.
