Jane Mlambo| 13 people have reportedly dead in an accident involving a Green Fuel sugar cane haulage truck and a commuter omnibus near Checheche, Chipinge.

Eye witnesses said the accident could have been caused by dust as the road. The Tanganda-Chiredzi Highway has become a death trap since government replaced tarmac with gravel which makes it difficult for motorists to see oncoming traffic.

Local communities are also complaining of dust which they say is causing untold suffering and a health risk due to volume of traffic and the amount of dust coming out of the road.

Government has indicated plans to resurface the road that links Tanganda and Ngundu.
