The
warning
comes
after
four
people
were
killed
and
14
others
injured
when
a
Munhenzva
bus
was
involved
in
an
accident
on
Sunday,
16
November
2025,
around
5:20
PM,
near
the
155km
peg
along
the
Masvingo–Beitbridge
Road.
ZRP
spokesperson
Commissioner
Paul
Nyathi
said
on
Monday
that
the
Scania
bus,
carrying
26
passengers,
veered
off
the
road,
overturned,
and
landed
on
its
roof. He
said:
“The
Police
reiterates
that
motorists
should
avoid
speeding
and
obey
all
road
rules
and
regulations
to
safeguard
human
lives.
“Drivers
are
encouraged
to
inspect
the
condition
of
their
vehicle
tyres,
including
the
spare
wheel,
to
ensure
that
they
are
in
good
condition
and
properly
inflated
to
avoid
road
accidents.
“Drivers
should
also
check
that
windscreen
wipers
are
functioning
effectively,
especially
during
the
rainy
season,
to
maintain
clear
visibility.
“Additionally,
any
cracked
or
broken
windscreens
should
be
promptly
repaired
or
replaced,
as
they
can
significantly
impair
vision
and
increase
the
risk
of
accidents.”
As
the
festive
season
approaches,
Commissioner
Nyathi
called
on
all
motorists
and
public
service
vehicle
drivers
to
work
with
the
police
to
curb
road
accidents. He
said:
“As
the
country
approaches
the
festive
season,
the
vehicle
owners
and
drivers
are
implored
to
quickly
remove
all
broken
down
vehicles
on
the
roads
and
assist
in
promoting
road
safety.
“Above
all,
it
is
in
the
interest
of
road
safety
for
all
vehicles
to
be
regularly
serviced
and
certified
fit
to
be
travelling
on
the
roads.
“Road
safety
is
a
collective
responsibility
of
all
Zimbabweans.
Therefore,
passengers
in
Public
Service
Vehicles
should
play
a
key
role
by
reporting
reckless
and
errant
drivers
on
the
roads.
“Passengers
should
not
be
harassed
or
threatened
by
drivers
or
conductors
whilst
their
safety
is
at
stake.
“During
this
rain
period,
drivers
should
not
attempt
to
cross
flooded
rivers
and
bridges.
“The
Zimbabwe
Republic
Police
urges
motorists
to
be
responsible
and
work
closely
with
law
enforcement
agents
to
curb
road
traffic
accidents.”
