Contralesa chairman suffers fractured leg in accident

Contralesa provincial chairman Chief Mwelo Nonkonyana is nursing a fractured leg at an Mthatha hospital after he was involved in a car accident at  the weekend.

Nonkonyana is admitted at the Bedford Orthopaedic in Mthatha after his driver and nephew lost control of the vehicle on the R16 near Mbizana at about 2am on Saturday while returning from the Alfred Nzo district municipality’s annual awards in Mzamba near Mbizana.

He was travelling with his youngest son and they were driven by Nonkonyana's nephew. It was only Nonkonyana who was injured.

He suffered a fracture on the left leg with doctors saying it's a tibia-fibula compound fracture. He is out of danger.

This is the third car accident where he escaped death by inches. In one of the accidents, his 15-year-old daughter Ncumisa died in March 1994.
