Eleven people lost their lives in a tragic collision between a kombi and a truck in Kuwadzana, Harare, on Thursday morning.

Kuwadzana West Member of Parliament, Hon. Johnson Matambo, reported that the accident occurred at the Kuwadzana 7 turn-off, also known as Pamagetsi, off Bulawayo Road.

“This location has become a black spot for accidents, and I urge relevant stakeholders to take action immediately. We witness fatal accidents here every month. Just last time, schoolchildren died in the same area, and the frequency of these incidents is alarming,” he stated.

Matambo emphasized, “It’s a busy and dangerous place. People died here last week as well. I have alerted the ZRP and the Traffic Safety Council of Zimbabwe about this issue. We need engineering solutions to reduce the ongoing accidents.”

A local first aid organization also confirmed the fatalities from the crash.

The Zimbabwe Republic Police is yet to release an official statement regarding the incident.
