Passengers Association of Zimbabwe bereaves together with the families of the nineteen people who lost their lives in the head on collision between a commutter omnibus and a haulage truck at the 89km photo at Ngezi Bridge in Featherstone.
We call upon passengers service and haulage truck vehicle owners to ensure that their drivers have defensive drivers licenses. They must also rest. Drivers must also excess extreme caution.
Commuter omnibuses should not travel long distances.
We call upon government to invest in buses, and the development of roads, including build operate and transfer (BOT).
The Government of Zimbabwe must prioritise Harare Beitbridge; Harare Bulawayo highways. Our highways must not become highways of deaths.
We need 24 hour police high way patrols.
Tafadzwa Goliati president of Passengers Association
