Transport Minister Felix Mhona revealed this on Friday after visiting the scene of the Beitbridge accident. He was accompanied by Local Government Daniel Garwe and Minister of State for Matabeleland South Evelyn Ndlovu. The delegation also visited Beitbridge Hospital to check on the injured before heading to Doves Funeral Parlour to pay respects to the grieving families. Beitbridge Accident Bus Had No Permit, Driver’s Retest Expired 4 Years Ago Speaking to journalists after the tour of the scene of the Beitbridge accident, Mhona revealed that preliminary investigations revealed that the bus driver’s retest expired in 2021 and the Urban Connect bus had no route permit. He also hinted that the government might ban Urban Connect from operating altogether. The official Ministry of Transport X (formerly Twitter) account posted: “Mhona said the responsible authorities will take action to stop such carnage, emphasising that wayward driving, which does not respect the sanctity of life will not be tolerated.” “How Did It Pass Roadblocks?”: Zimbos Outraged However, many Zimbabweans were not convinced by the minister’s statement, accusing him of using the permit issue as a scapegoat. Social media users questioned how a bus without proper documentation had been allowed to travel from Harare to Beitbridge. Here are some of the reactions: @bee87m: Finding a scapegoat. The roads are bad, it’s raining. There are so many variables and they go with route license and defensive retest. @MoreNgweny85999: That was not the cause of the accident. How can the absence of a route permit be the cause of an accident? How did the bus ply the route when we have law enforcers? You see how corruption destroys a nation. @Drake01012000: How did it pass through all roadblocks? .@iamfarffy: They will blame everything else but won’t say anything about the state of the roads @Chirorodziva4: Food for thought: Proactive preventive measures vs reactive keeping up appearances !!!! What’s better 🤔 @deemativ: Question is if everything was expired, how did the bus travel all the way from Harare to BeitBridge?. All police officers manning Roadblocks along that route must also face severe punishment.
