A 41-year-old woman died after being hit by a combi this morning along Limpopo Drive near Zoom Club in Maruapula, Gaborone.

Central police station commander, superintendent Mothusi Phadi confirmed the tragic incident to Mmegi, saying it occurred between 5:30am and 6:30am.

“I just received the sad news, the woman is no more.
