According to the <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/2023/08/31/seven-dead-four-injured-in-tragic-harare-mutare-road-accident/">ZRP’s preliminary statement</a>, the Honda Fit vehicle was carrying eight passengers while the other vehicle had one passenger. Some individuals on social media have criticized the police, blaming them for the accident and alleging that they overlook illegal public transportation vehicles known as “Mshika shika.” They find it unacceptable that the Honda Fit, designed for up to five passengers, was carrying eight individuals. They suspect that the vehicle may have passed multiple police checkpoints through alleged bribery.
