The latest bus accident comes weeks after the government lifted the suspension that had been imposed on the bus company after one of its buses was involved in a fatal accident with a Zebra Kiss bus along the Harare-Nyamapanda route.

In video clips that went viral, the two buses were racing against each other before the accident that claimed the life of one conductor and left several passengers injured.

After the suspension of its operating license, Rimbi Travel and Tours initially sued the government but later backtracked on the decision.

The bus company has been barred from servicing the Harare to Nyamapanda route.
