Adjust font size:

Susan Tsvangirai, Zimbabwean Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai's wife who died in a car crash that injured her husband on Friday, will be buried Wednesday, according to reports from agencies.

The Prime Minister Tsvangirai left for neighboring Botswana for medical treatment on Saturday after he was released from the Avenues Clinic in Harare.

A spokesman for Tsvangirai's Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) said he will undergo a check-up, but he is out of danger now.

A senior official from MDC said Mrs Tsvangirai would be buried in her rural hometown of Buhera.

The crash happened as Tsvangirai and his wife were travelling from Harare to Buhera where the new prime minister was due to attend a rally on Saturday. Susan died at the scene of the accident.

Susan was reportedly flung out of the car as it rolled over and landed on top of her. Rescuers found her 15 meters from the wrecked vehicle, mortally wounded with serious internal injuries and fractures to both legs.

She was rushed to Beatrice hospital where she was confirmed dead on arrival. Her body is now at Nyaradzo funeral parlour, in Herbert Chitepo road Harare.

Tsvangirai's driver Simbarashe Mujeyi and his aide Benson Muchineuta were also injured and treated at the Avenues Clinic in Harare.
