Zimbabweans Raise Concerns and Offer Possible Solutions
The news of the latest accident has sparked an outpouring of grief and concern from Zimbabweans, who have called for more robust systems to address the pressing issue of road accidents in the country.
Here are some of the comments:
Clifton Dawanyi:
It’s high time we put robust systems in place to reduce the road accidents. We should not talk about evil spirits when most of these accidents are being caused by human error. Let’s upgrade our infrastructure and put even CCTV Cameras to monitor speed limits and other regulations on our roads. Honestly, driving dzemakombi on our roads and overloading can’t be blamed on the devil. We just have to strengthen how we are implementing our traffick laws.
Knowledge Machine:
It’s so painful that most drivers don’t even know or understand Road rules and regulations, because they skipped the Oral lessons for learners licences,and people buying licenses are the real causes of all this.
Kudzai Rodney Nathan Bungara:
RIP,bad drivers,bad roads no controlling and monitoring of drivers through things like traffic cameras,results in deaths of innocents people.
