Passengers Trapped In Bus Following Highway Accident

The Government says it will soon introduce a new law to curb road traffic accidents that have killed hundreds of people so far this year.
Transport and Infrastructural Development Minister Felix Mhona Mhona said that the Government will soon gazette a new Statutory Instrument on measures to curb the road carnage.
He said the law would ensure the right age requirement for bus drivers is met while fixing the maximum speed for buses, among other measures.
Mhona made the remarks in Dotito, Mashonaland Central province last week after visiting the scene of the CAG bus accident that claimed seven lives. He said:
<blockquote>
The law will make sure buses that are brought into the country are fixed in a manner that makes sure they do not go above 100km/hr.
We have excitable drivers who are also inexperienced and underage. We will address all this in our new law that is coming soon.
</blockquote>
Mhona also announced that the soon-to-be-introduced plastic discs will reduce a massive backlog of driver’s licenses. He said:
<blockquote>
It will be acceptable in 27 countries in and out of SADC. There is a code that shows everything about the driver and on the 19th of this month, there will be an official launch of the license. It will also reduce the making of fake driver’s licenses.
We had a backlog of over 600 000 driver’s licenses and this will ensure we bring this to an end. We were having problems with licenses.
</blockquote>
Zimbabwe National Roads Authority (ZINARA) board chairperson George Manyaya and his Traffic Safety Council of Zimbabwe (TSCZ) counterpart Kura Sibanda accompanied Mhona to Dotito.

Seven Killed, 45 Injured In CAG Bus Accident

CAG Travellers Coaches says the passenger who was forced to drop off from one of their buses between Hwange and Victoria Falls at night had threatened to attack and stab the bus crew.
Video showing a man who had boarded the bus in Hwange to Victoria Falls being forced to disembark the bus by the crew went viral on social media, prompting the transport operator to comment about the incident.
The man had an altercation with the bus crew allegedly for not paying his fare and he was later forced to drop off at a Truck Inn along the way.
In a statement, the CAG Travellers Coaches management said the man was violent. Part of the statement reads:
<blockquote>
What we have gathered is that when the man boarded the bus, he did not pay his fare and it was only noticed during ticket inspections by the crew.
They then asked him for the fare but he became violent and even attempted to stab the bus crew with unidentified sharp objects that he was in possession of.
Fearing for their safety and of other passengers, the bus was later stopped and they decided to let him disembark from the bus and another altercation ensued. 
He was then forced off the bus at a Truck Inn along the way not in a bushy area as earlier reported.
We prioritise and value customer care and the safety of our passengers. We cannot have other citizens who violate the rights of others. At one time, one of our buses was once robbed and that is why we mostly consider the safety and security of our passengers.
We were not sure about the motive behind this man’s refusing to pay his fare.
</blockquote>
In December 2021, five armed robbers pounced on a CAG Travellers Coaches bus at the 325km peg along the Harare-Chirundu highway.
The robbers undressed all passengers before escaping with the clothes and US$19 050, R2 000, $690 and K1 137 in cash, and other valuables.

Passenger Forced To Drop Off CAG Bus At Night

Victoria Falls villagers on Saturday had a CAG Travellers bus accident to thank as they took several tonnes of free meat from the carcasses of three elephants that were killed in the accident.
A CAG Travellers bus travelling to Victoria Falls rammed into a herd of elephants, killing three of the animals on the spot.
The accident occurred about 35km outside Victoria Falls, just after 5 AM on Saturday near Mbizha turn off along the Bulawayo-Victoria Falls road.
The bus suffered extensive damage but all 18 passengers and the bus crew were not injured.
Passengers were switched to another bus and proceeded with their journey.
Villagers from nearby Masikili and Mbizha villages, as well as some from as far as Lupinyu (about 20km away), some from Victoria Falls City, Chikandakubi and Chenamisa gathered at the accident scene to get a share of the meat.
According to The Sunday News, some of the villagers came on bicycles, cars and scotch carts while some boarded public transport from Victoria Falls.
Zimbabwe Parks and Wildlife Management Authority rangers and police officers were on the scene monitoring the situation.
The bus driver, Daniel Mapfumo, said he could not avoid hitting the jumbos because they appeared “suddenly” in the middle of the road. He said:
<blockquote>
I suddenly saw the elephants and applied breaks while swerving to the left.
There were three groups so as I avoided the first, I saw another herd ahead.
The three were in the middle of the road and suddenly they turned at once, giving their back to the bus and they were hit at once.
</blockquote>
Meanwhile, ZANU PF Hwange District Coordinating Committee chair Matthew Muleya urged drivers to be careful when driving along the Victoria Falls-Bulawayo road. He said:
<blockquote>
Animals cross from the national park to communities so drivers should be cautious so that we save lives.
These buses travel at night and we urge them not to speed on this road.

Victoria Falls Villagers Stampede For Free Meat As Bus Rams Into Elephant Herd

A CAG bus travelling to Victoria Falls hit three elephants, killing them on the spot. However, all 18 passengers and the bus crew were not injured.
According to <a href="https://twitter.com/Vic_Falls_Live/status/1510501187824594945">VicFallsLive</a>, the incident occurred on Saturday morning in the Matetsi area between Hwange and Victoria Falls on the 35-kilometre peg.
Zimbabwe Parks and Wildlife Management Authority (Zimparks) spokesperson Tinashe Farawo confirmed the accident. Said Farawo:
<blockquote>
Fortunately, no human casualty was reported, but those three elephants died.
Since it was still dark, the driver might have not spotted them on time, so braking on time could’ve become a challenge for him.
</blockquote>
Farawo added that the cause of the accident that happened in a wildlife marked zone was not yet known.
The driver of the bus, Daniel Mapfumo, managed to control the bus and narrowly avoided hitting trees in the process, before bringing the bus to a halt 50 metres from the carcasses. Said Mapfumo:
<blockquote>
I suddenly saw the elephants and applied breaks while swerving to the left. There were three groups so as I avoided the first, I saw another herd ahead.
The three were in the middle of the road and suddenly they turned at once, giving their back to the bus and they were hit at once.
</blockquote>
A witness Arnold Sibanda who was driving behind the bus when the accident occurred, commended Mapfumo’s driving skills. He said:
<blockquote>
It was early in the morning because the bus left Victoria Falls at 5 AM.
This is a crossing area for elephants and he encountered a large group that was crossing in the direction of the community.
The driver tried to avoid the first herd by swerving to the left.
He narrowly missed a tree and he redirected the bus back to the road, but there was another herd that was in the middle of the road as it was crossing.
He tried to avoid hitting the second herd, but there was no chance.
The bus hit the three elephants, but the driver worked hard to save lives and control the bus until it stopped.
I was driving at 90km per hour behind the bus which means it was travelling at almost the same speed.
