I can confirm that we recorded a fatal road accident where two females died. Two people who were in the kombi died while five others were injured.

Police Release Names Of Kuwadzana Accident Victims

Felix Mhona, the Minister of Transport and Infrastructural Development, has expressed sorrow over the death of seven people in a road traffic accident that occurred at Kuwadzana 7 turn-off in Harare on Thursday morning.
Seven people were killed and four others injured when the driver of a commuter omnibus (kombi) failed to give way at traffic lights and collided with a haulage truck. Said Mhona:
<blockquote>
On behalf of the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructural Development and on my own behalf, I convey our heartfelt condolences to all the bereaved families. We mourn the demise of young men and women who perished in this crash.
Our thoughts are with all the families of the people who were killed in the crash and our prayers are with those injured as they continue to receive treatment and care. We wish them speedy recuperation.
</blockquote>
Mhona said the accident is yet another call to all transport operators, motorists, and members of the public to adhere to road traffic rules and exercise caution on the road. He added:
<blockquote>
Whilst the traffic lights at the intersection were working, it is concerning to note that the driver of the commuter omnibus proceeded when he was supposed to stop.
This was reckless and thus a blatant violation of our road traffic rules and regulations. Consequently, the driver is being charged with culpable homicide.
I wish to remind and warn all transport operators, motorists, and members of the public that the Ministry will take stern measures to preserve the safety and security of the commuting public.
</blockquote>
Culpable homicide refers to the unlawful killing of another person without intent to kill but with a degree of negligence or recklessness. It is categorised as a less severe charge than murder, as it may involve circumstances where the perpetrator did not have the explicit intention to cause death.

In a recent Senate session, Manicaland Senator Jane Chitsamba raised concerns about the alarming surge in road carnage and directly asked Transport and Infrastructure Development Minister Felix Mhona what specific actions his Ministry was taking to address this pressing issue.
In response, Minister Mhona said that the government will take a tougher stance, promising to clamp down on police officers and Vehicle Inspectorate Department (VID) officials who have been allowing defective vehicles to pass through roadblocks, a contributing factor to the rise in road accidents. He said:
<blockquote>
It is quite saddening that over 26 precious lives were lost in June alone, with over 56 people injured.
We are taking serious measures in terms of mitigatory actions as a Ministry, but this calls for a holistic approach.
Where we have witnessed recklessness, where we did not preserve the sanctity of life on our roads, where others are driving under the influence of alcohol, and through the enforcement agents, we have said if a vehicle passes through a manned checkpoint and is involved in an accident, the officials are accountable.
Not only that, but even the operators of those buses. So we are not only charging the drivers.

Mabvuku Kombi Accident Death Toll Rises To Six

One person was injured when a kombi, a Nissan Caravan, rammed into another, at the intersection of Simon Mazorodze Road and Remembrance Drive in Harare on Thursday afternoon.
The Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) said the incident resulted in five other vehicles ramming into each other. The ZRP:
<blockquote>
ZRP is investigating a serious road traffic accident which occurred at the intersection of Simon Mazorodze Road and Remembrance Drive, Harare on 09/05/24 at around 1408 hours. One person was injured when a Nissan Caravan vehicle registration number AEB 1040 rammed into another Nissan Caravan vehicle registration number AFQ 8137. Resultantly, five other vehicles rammed into each other.
</blockquote>
Although the police have not officially disclosed the cause of the initial incident involving the two Nissan Caravan vehicles, kombi drivers frequently evade traffic police at undesignated pick-up and drop-off points, often resulting in accidents.
Numerous lives have been lost, and some individuals have suffered serious injuries due to accidents caused by kombi crews fleeing from the police in the central business district.
Critics often express dissatisfaction with the ZRP’s policing methods, particularly the high-stakes cat-and-mouse chases involving fully loaded kombis that show little regard for human safety.

Police Release Names Of Remaining Five Beatrice Accident Victims

The driver of a haulage truck that was involved in an accident that claimed the lives of 16 church members along the Harare-Masvingo highway on Friday last week is facing 16 culpable homicide charges.
Culpable homicide involves unintentional killing due to negligence or recklessness, as outlined in the Criminal Law (Codification and Reform) Act.
The company that owns the haulage truck had its licence cancelled pending investigations, <a href="https://www.herald.co.zw/driver-transporter-punished-over-beatrice-horror-crash/">reported The Herald</a>.
According to Transport and Infrastructural Development Minister Felix Mhona, investigations revealed that the driver did not have relevant competency to drive public service vehicles, in line with the Road Traffic Act.
Responding to questions from journalists during Tuesday’s post-Cabinet briefing, Mhona said punishing the driver and cancelling the transport company’s operator’s licence will send a stern warning to drivers and operators of public service vehicles.
Home Affairs and Cultural Heritage Minister, Kazembe Kazembe, said his ministry will work with the Ministry of Transport to ensure that negligent drivers are brought to book and police officers manning roadblocks enforce the law. He said:
<blockquote>
We are doing our utmost through the police to ensure that there is law enforcement. And not only that, we are working together with my counterpart, Minister Mhona, to leave no stone unturned in this regard.
For starters, we are going to be investigating every incident of an accident, starting with this particular one that has just happened.
We must ascertain the cause of the accident, whether it resulted from the driver’s poor decision-making, mechanical faults, or bus overloading.
</blockquote>
Kazembe said the investigation will seek to establish if the vehicle passed through roadblocks and why it was not apprehended in the event it was overloaded. He added:
<blockquote>
We are doing that as an intervention to ensure that we bring sanity to our roads. Secondly, we are also working together with my counterparts to ensure that we will equip our police officers to be able to carry out their mandate, to be able to account for those who are driving under the influence of alcohol and, you know, drugs and substances.
</blockquote>
Ministers Mhona and Kazembe later issued a joint statement urging drivers to be cautious on the road during the Workers’ Day holiday this Wednesday.
The statement said police and the Vehicle Inspectorate Department (VID) will be out in full force throughout the Workers’ Day holiday to remove defective vehicles from the roads and enforce other relevant laws.
