Kwekwe-Gokwe Road: Just Raw Bus Accident Kills 7, Injures 43 People

Three people were killed while 27 others were injured when a commuter omnibus side-swiped with a Mandaza bus in Hwedza (Wedza) on Monday.
In a statement released on 18 April, Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) spokesperson Assistant Commissioner Paul Nyathi said the bus veered off the road before landing on its left side.
The accident occurred at the 29-kilometre peg along Wedza- Mutiweshiri Road. Said Asst Comm. Nyathi:
<blockquote>
… the Zimbabwe Republic Police, recorded another fatal road traffic accident which occurred on 17th April 2023 at the 29-kilometre peg along Wedza- Mutiweshiri Road in which three people died on the spot whilst twenty-seven (27) others were injured when a commuter omnibus side swiped with a Mandaza bus, resulting in the bus veering off the road before landing on its left side.
</blockquote>
The bodies of the victims were taken to St Mary’s Hospital, Wedza for post-mortem while the injured are admitted at the same hospital.
He said the three (3) victims have been identified by their next of kin as follows:
<ul>
<li>Agnes NYADONGO (53), a female adult of Gombe Village, Mutare,</li>
<li>Caroline BANDA (34), of Dora, Dangamvura, Mutare,</li>
<li>Nenyasha DARARA, a female infant aged four (4), of Dora Dangamvura, Mutare.</li>
</ul>
Asst Comm. implored public service vehicle drivers to be cautious on the roads and comply with all road rules and regulations to safeguard lives.
Meanwhile, a concerned citizen, Diva Mandeya said authorities are unprepared to respond to disasters such as major accidents.
In a post on Twitter, Mandeya narrated how members of the public worked with authorities with very few resources to save people who were trapped in the wreckage of the Mandaza Bus. <a href="https://twitter.com/DivaMandeya/status/1648109741313228801">Below is Mandeya’s Twitter thread</a>:
<blockquote>
[AT] 9 am we got an alarm a fatal accident had happened 2.5km from Goto Business Center paGanyau.
I quickly changed my itinerary and rushed with 2 employees to see what help we could render. 20 mins later we discovered we were in for a huge responsibility.
A few motorists were already ferrying the injured to our poorly equipped clinic at Goto, 3km away.
There were people trapped under the bus lying on its side &amp; a child could be heard crying helplessly.
It was a hounding &amp; desperate situation that villagers frantically pulling out the injured could not do much about.
Shortly police officers arrived but they were bemused by the magnitude of the crisis.
Traffic control on the highway became orderly but there was no command on how to proceed with the rescue mission.
There was total confusion. More officers and an ambulance arrived in good time including nursing staff from Mt St Mary’s Mission Hospital 27 km away.
Commendably, the injured were ferried to the local clinic in the ambulance and several private vehicles.
The real problem was what to do with the trapped of which the crisis was magnified by haphazard police action.
There was absolutely no command element directing operations. Every person who had an idea tried to prevail over the other but there was no meaningful rescue effort.
There was no qualified rescue personnel until a Marondera fire brigade rescue team arrived 4 hrs later from 100km away.
We mobilized a tractor from a local businessman but it could not pull the bus to save the trapped.
Later a JCB from Wedza GP arrived &amp; combined wt the tractor to lift the bus off the trapped people but failed.
We ended up using jacks, picks, and shovels to try and dig the people out to no avail. We could see &amp; tell the people had died.
In spite of warnings from police about damaging the bus we used axes to cut up metal but we fell short until we rushed back home to get a generator and a grinder which become the best improvisation.
After some arduous cutting and bending we managed to retrieve the first body 5 hours later. 2 were still trapped.
Working with the ill-equipped Marondera men we retrieved the other two bodies around 4 pm amid wailing and heart-rending mourning from relatives who had arrived from Mutare, almost 200km away.
I feel haunted as l write this thread now. The sounds are ringing in my ears as l type. It’s traumatic.
l feel that some of the accidents happening in this country can be avoided.
a). Highways must not be left littered with deep potholes
b) Speed dzemabhazi anonzi Yuotong are not appropriate for our roads.
c) Police need emergency rescue training. They were clueless.
d) Every district must have appropriate rescue equipment &amp; services
e) Accident scenes or any crime scene must have a clear command element and structure.
f) Highways need centre line markings and overtaking restriction lines.
g) Overloading is going unchecked.
h) The Youtong bell/ hooter is too alarming. It can cause dangerous panic and disorientation to other motorists.
These are my humble recommendations. I am not OK tonite. We have responsibilities that we need to embrace as citizens of Zim.
May the souls of the deceased RIP
PS. Mandaza Bus Company only brought contingency for the recovery of their bus. Damaged luggage and stranded passengers had nowhere to go and no recourse.
We had to ferry, accommodate &amp; feed 6 survivors whose fate is unclear as far as compensation is concerned.

The accident occurred a day after another bus accident claimed the lives of 13 people near Chivhu.

Police Release Names Of 10 People Killed In Accident On 7 April

A truck driver was involved in two separate road traffic accidents on Sunday night leading to six deaths and eight injuries.

Six people were killed in the accident while five others were injured and ferried to Mvuma Hospital for medical care.
The truck driver was later involved in another road traffic accident along the Harare–Masvingo Road resulting in three people sustaining injuries. ZRP said:

ZRP, however, did not disclose the driver’s identity or the nature of the consignment he was ferrying.
<a href="https://www.newsday.co.zw/opinion-amp-analysis/article/76586/procedures-after-an-accident">According to a report,</a> the Road Traffic Act Chapter 13:11 Section 70 sets out the duties of drivers when involved in accidents.
Section 70(2) states that any person, who is a driver of a vehicle on or near a road at the time when the vehicle is involved in or contributes to an accident in which injury is caused to any person or damage to any property or if a person or animal is killed the first duty is to stop immediately.
Failure to stop when an accident occurs is a serious criminal offence — in other words hitting and running is a crime no matter the circumstance.
After stopping, the second duty is to ascertain whether any person has been killed or injured.
The third duty is to render any assistance possible or capable of being reasonably rendered.
If someone has died, the other driver, regardless of fault, has a duty to take all reasonable measures to guard the corpse until the police arrive.
It is a requirement to alert the police immediately if the accident involves another vehicle or is of a serious nature.
Measures should be taken to contact the nearest police station or the traffic police general line.
The police should attend to all accident scenes.
It is an offence to tamper with evidence at an accident scene.

Five Killed, Three Injured In Road Accident

One of the passengers who were injured when a Rimbi Travel and Tours bus which was racing behind a Zebra Kiss bus, was involved in an accident on 17 January 2023 in Mutoko District along the Harare-Nyamapanda Highway has accused the bus company’s management of being cold and unsympathetic for not rendering support to the injured.
The Rimbi bus, which was travelling to Harare with 23 passengers on board, rammed into the back of a Shacman Tipper which was travelling in the same direction.
Police said the bus driver was trying to overtake the truck whilst being blocked by a Zebra Kiss bus that was travelling in the same direction.
One person was killed, while seven others were seriously injured in the accident.
The woman, who was a passenger on the Rimbi bus, has expressed gratitude to the Zebra Kiss buses’ management for footing the hospital bills of the injured passengers. <a href="https://twitter.com/HeraldZimbabwe/status/1617855343085916160">She said:</a>
<blockquote>
The Rimbi Tours bus driver was chasing the Zebra Kiss bus from border-Nyamapanda… I reprimanded him, if you heard someone who was reproaching the driver, it was I.
He said to me “woman, don’t bother me. I want him (the Zebra Kiss driver, to know that I’m capable of driving at great speeds.”
I implored him to slow down, and he then took his phone and handed it to the bus conductor, the one who died in the accident, he was close to me.
The Rimbi Tours management never came to see us when I was initially admitted at Mutoko Hospital and even here at Parirenyatwa Hospital, they didn’t come.
The Zebra Kiss management came to us here. They went to Mutoko Hospital and paid our hospital bills. They have also come to Parirenyatwa and they are assisting me.
I’m grateful for their love. I never imagined they would help me considering that I was injured aboard the Rimbi Tours bus, and not on their coach.
</blockquote>
The Ministry of Transport and Infrastructural Development has since suspended the licences of Rimbi Travel and Zebra Kiss from operating all their omnibuses on all routes across the country.
The two buses companies were accused of violating sections of the Road Traffic Act which “prohibit driving without due care and attention or reasonable consideration for others, negligent or dangerous driving and reckless driving…”

Bus Carrying Zimbabweans Overturns In South Africa, 38 People Injured

More than 1 500 people have been killed on the country’s roads between January and September this year, a cabinet minister has revealed.
Speaking at the World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims (WDR) in Bulawayo on Saturday, Transport and Infrastructure Development Minister Felix Mhona expressed concern over the high number of people killed in road traffic accidents. He said:
<blockquote>
This year alone, from January to September 2022, we had 38 776 crashes, 1 559 killed and 7 851 injured.
This translates to a traffic collision every 15 minutes, an average of 45 injuries per day, and an average of five deaths per day.
Friday nights, Saturdays and festive seasons are the worst.
</blockquote>
Mhona said the government is committed to reducing road traffic accidents by 50 per cent under the National Development Strategy 1. He added:
<blockquote>
The carnage on our roads must stop! Surely, it can only be through us that we put an end to the silent killer on our roads.
This is a war we can win as roughly 94 % of road traffic accidents are directly attributed to human error.
A change in human behaviour could therefore easily result in lowering the worrisome statistics.
</blockquote>
WDR is commemorated on the third Sunday of November every year and this year it is being commemorated today, 20 November. | <a href="https://www.newzimbabwe.com/1559-people-killed-in-road-accidents-this-year/">NewZimbabwe.com</a>
