The Mayor of Kumba III council, John Kona Makia will in the days ahead organize a thanksgiving service after he survived a road accident along the Kumba-Buea high way precisely at Banga-Bakundu on March 21. 2017.

                Mayor John Kona Makia and his driver were returning to Kumba after a trip that took them out of the division when they bumped into a herd of cattle that hard occupied almost the entire highway. The mayor told this reporter that after his driver struggled to dodge the herd of cattle to no avail, the vehicle ended up in a head on collision with some of the cattle.

                Mayor Makia said he was rushing to meet with a four-man German delegation from the city of Sindelfingen, who were on a return visit to the Kumba city council.

                After the accident, Mayor Makia was later transported in a different vehicle to Kumba, while the official council vehicle was taken to the garage for repairs.

                The Mayor however told reporters that though he wasn’t physically injured in the accident, he will get to the hospital for checkups to ascertain if he sustained any internal injuries.
