the child's mother should also be sued for negligence

Yes ndizbo haizvo

Well just that it doesn't say what really happened. I was found guilty or negligent driving this other time when a drug grown man jumped in from of my car ku highway in Masvingo were opposite were there is KFC now. Sometimes even after keeping good lookout and even cautioning other road users. There are other stakeholders who negligently do things in the sense that motorist will always be forced to stop in any instance in split of a second. Yes the young man should have done something but so as the parent or guardian. It wasn't the drivers intention for a kid to die or the parents intention to get the kid run over by the car.

Where was the mother of the child first 2nd driver to b blamed also 14yrs

we have to understand the difference between murder and capable homicide

@....,i totally agree with you, in regard to the law in Zimbabwe. Traditional leaders are now better than the educated lawyers. Maybe it is corruption or ignorance. They make tough sentences for minor cases and soft sentences for serious offenses

ngozi following kupera kuripa not community service

At the Police they used to ask a question in Police Duties, they would ask let's say you enter a shop with a minor let's say a 5 year old or younger than that. The minor then shoplift something say chips, or lollipop or even anything a minor can get hold on, and you as a guardian you don't notice it. When you are getting out of the shop and the security sees the minor they don't blame the minor they blame the guardian because as a guardian you realize the real risk or possibility that something of that nature could happen so you had to check the minor at all times. The guardian will then get arrested. In this case as the 20 year old failed to maintain a safe braking distance he is to blame the sentence is fair, also the guardian of that toddler must be brought in for questioning why a toddler was left unattended. The guardian also must be sentenced. We usually see toddlers even in the Central Business District (CBD) on pavement vendors children at one time a lady was called to come and get her toddler which have entered Choppies Supermarket near City Hall, at Bulawayo. The guardian must also be arrested.

zviriko izvi. my 11 year old akadhumwa ne a Honda fit in 2022 pa murehwa centre akatofa. court ikati community service. I am still hurt

money induced judgement. sorry zimbos

Zviri pa 2. The driver was careless in his driving he could have avoided hitting & killing the baby and on the other hand the parents or guardians of the baby are to blame, how could they let a crawling baby roam & crawl in the dangerous road unattended.

The way culpable homicide was explained, the toddler guardians are just as "culpable" here. This baby is dead because of their negligence. The law was also too lenient on this young driver. My 2 zigs ...

Justice not delivered, that's all what I can say. But I think the parents of the toddler must find a way to deal with the careless driver, it is either he pays them money or cattle. Mhosva hayirovi. Time will tell.
