Civil Aviation Authority of Zimbabwe(CAAZ) security recruits die during road run
LATEST: Two people have been confirmed dead at Robert Gabriel Mugabe airport after a chaotic Civil Aviation recruitment exercise.
Several job seekers were reportedly hospitalized as a result of a poorly organised recruitment exercise.
Sources say the death happened after more than 500 people turned for job posts advertised by the the aviation security department.
The candidates were asked to run and do military type exercises as part of the selection process.
