A yet-to-be-identified Tshova Mubaiwa kombi driver is on the run after his vehicle rammed into the Mpopoma High School precast wall and a fowl run shortly before 8 AM on Thursday.
The kombi, which plies the City-Cowdray Park route, was coming from the city centre with four passengers on board.
A security guard at the school, Patrick Mahachi, told the <a href="https://www.chronicle.co.zw/bulawayo-police-hunt-for-tshova-mubaiwa-kombi-driver-who-fled-after-crashing-into-mpopoma-high-school-wall/">Chronicle</a> that the incident unfolded before his eyes. He said:
<blockquote>
I saw the Kombi flying towards the precast wall and I rushed to the scene and found that one of the four passengers had sustained a broken leg. What surprised me was the speed at which the driver vanished into thin air.
</blockquote>
The spokesperson for the Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) in Bulawayo Province, Inspector Abednico Ncube said they were investigating the circumstances that led to the driver fleeing the scene. He said:
<blockquote>
We are investigating circumstances leading to an accident involving a Tshova Mubaiwa Kombi today (Thursday).
Our officers are keen to interview the driver of the Kombi who disappeared from the scene of the accident.
He will face negligent driving charges and we appeal to members of the public who may know of his whereabouts to contact any nearest police station.
</blockquote>
Bulawayo chief fire officer Nhlanganiso Moyo said the fire brigade attended the scene and remained on standby until the Kombi was towed away from the site. Said Moyo:
<blockquote>
We attended to a road traffic accident early this morning at 7.40 am where a driver of a commuter omnibus heading towards Luveve lost control, veered off the road and hit a precast wall and a chicken run inside Mpopoma High School.
Five persons were injured and taken to the hospital. Our crew removed the vehicle out of the school taking into account that it could burst into flames.
</blockquote>
The Minister of Transport and Infrastructural Development Felix Mhona recently told Parliament that the Government was proposing to increase the minimum age from 25 years to 30 years to reduce traffic accidents and fatalities, largely attributed to reckless driving.
In 2023, the government promulgated Statutory Instrument 118 of 2023 which requires public service vehicles, including buses, are required to be fitted with speed-limiting devices to ensure their speeds do not exceed 100 km/h.
This measure was introduced in response to an increase in bus accidents attributed to speeding.
These speed limiters are installed permanently and can work for a lifetime if drivers do not tamper with them.

Tshova Mubaiwa Kombi Driver Flees After Crashing Vehicle Into School Precast Wall

The government plans to raise the minimum age for kombi and bus drivers from the current 25 years to 30 years to reduce traffic accidents and fatalities, largely attributed to reckless driving.
Speaking during the Question and Answer session in the Senate last Thursday, Minister of Transport and Infrastructure Development Felix Mhona said that raising the minimum age for all public service drivers will ensure that only mature and experienced drivers will drive kombis and buses. Said Mhona (via <a href="https://www.herald.co.zw/new-age-limit-for-kombi-bus-drivers/">The Herald</a>):
<blockquote>
I am sure the legal department in my Ministry is working with the Attorney General in that regard and we are saying for public vehicles, we were sticking to 25 years and we are now advocating to increase.
Within the SADC region, the minimum age is 30 years for public service vehicles and that will then address the overzealousness of some of these drivers that are driving our public service vehicles.
We are losing close to 2,000 per annum in terms of fatalities, which is not sustainable and when it comes to the monetary element, we are losing close to US$406 million per year towards fatalities, injuries, hospitalisations and even causing unnecessary burden to beneficiaries.
</blockquote>
Commenting on the proposal to raise the minimum age limit for public service drivers, Greater Harare Association of Commuter Operators (GHACO) chairman, Ngoni Katsvairo, said:
<blockquote>
Experience and maturity come with age, which is why the constitution stipulates that one must be 40 years or older to be considered for Presidential election candidacy.
</blockquote>
However, Zimbabwe Union of Drivers and Conductors (ZUDCO) president, Fradreck Maguramhinga said the country does not have a lot of drivers that are over the age of 25. He said:
<blockquote>
While we understand the need for more mature drivers, we have very mature drivers between 25 and 30 years old
The majority of drivers who are being reckless are below 25 and we propose maintaining the 25-year age limit for small public service vehicles like commuter omnibuses, as drivers tend to prefer heavy-duty trucks and buses once they reach 30.
</blockquote>
In 2023, the government promulgated Statutory Instrument 118 of 2023 which requires public service vehicles, including buses, are required to be fitted with speed-limiting devices to ensure their speeds do not exceed 100 km/h.
This measure was introduced in response to an increase in bus accidents attributed to speeding.

Government Mulls Raising Minimum Age For Kombi, Bus Drivers To 30 Years

Kombi drivers were aggrieved by the government’s decision to re-introduce $1 ZUPCO buses. The move has negatively affected kombi operators who of late, have developed a tendency to hike fares at the drop of a hat.
ZUPCO and other buses were blocked by Kombis from the terminus in protest of the new fares that were gazetted by the government, refusing to pave way for the `buses at Harare Central Charge Office bus terminus.
In a report by the local tabloid H-Metro, one of the Kombi drivers said that the introduction of buses has had a devastating effect on their profit as they are now losing business to the ZUPCO buses.
<blockquote>We will not leave the terminus and we will make sure no bus is allowed in. Ngavaite Mutsetse wavo vachitevera mabuses avakatitengesera mahombe ayo kwete murank medu.</blockquote>
