Tragic Road Accident Claims Lives of Absa Bank Tanzania Senior Executive, Lecturer, and Two Others
In a devastating road accident that took place yesterday in Mapatano Village, Bagamoyo District, Coast Region, four individuals lost their lives. Among the victims were Neech Msuya, a senior executive at Absa Bank Tanzania Limited, and Nora Msuya, a lecturer at Mzumbe University Dar es Salaam Campus College. The other two casualties were identified as Dayana Mageta, a businesswoman from Dar es Salaam, and an unidentified individual.
Neech and Nora were members of the same family, both tragically succumbing to the accident while en route to their Msangeni home in Ugweno, Mwanga District, to attend a funeral.
According to a police statement, the accident occurred during the early hours of the day when the vehicle, driven by Neech Msuya, collided with a truck traveling from Arusha to Dar es Salaam. The incident has left the community in shock and mourning for the untimely loss of these valuable lives.
“The cause of the accident was a small car’s sudden shift from one side of the road, which caused a head-on collision with a truck,” said the statement.
Ms. Nora, who tragically passed away in the recent road accident, had been a dedicated and influential figure at Mzumbe University Dar es Salaam Campus College. According to the acting principal, Cyriacus Binamungu, she served as a law and administration teacher at the college for an impressive tenure of 12 years.
In 2011, Ms. Nora made a significant shift from the University’s Morogoro main campus to Dar es Salaam, and during her time there, she played a crucial role in advancing the field of law studies at the college. Prof. Binamungu fondly remembers her as the longest-serving head of the law department and also recognized her contributions as the campus secretary.
Her dedication, expertise, and commitment to education have left a lasting impact on the institution, and she will be deeply missed and remembered for her invaluable service to the university community.
