Terrence Mawawa|Prominent social media analyst Antony Taruvinga has said the deplorable state of the country’s roads is the main cause of the high incidence of fatal road accidents.

“The major cause of these deadly accidents, generally, is the bad state of our roads.

The Chirundu-Masvingo-Beitbridge Highway is an eyesore and a death trap. The government has failed
to cope with technological advancement where we have fast moving cars still travelling on ancient
roads(the likes of the times of Cecil John Rhodes that were designed for less than 80km/hr cars).

They can’t even copy from South Africa(neatly tarred highways and spaghetti roads). Botswana, a desert,
has better roads than Zimbabwe. Where is the revenue going? It’s all being consumed by Zanu PF fat cats,” argued Taruvinga in a statement yesterday.
