Police To Punish Errant Rimbi, Zebra Kiss Drivers

The Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) says it has launched a thorough investigation into an accident involving two buses along the Harare-Nyamapanda Road on Tuesday.

One person was killed, while seven others were seriously injured when the Rimbi Bus rammed into a truck as the Zebra Kiss bus was blocking the road during a race captured on cell phone video.

Police spokesperson, Senior Assistant Commissioner Paul Nyathi said operators have a responsibility to control their drivers and ensure that drivers are not dragged into dangerous and reckless highway races with other buses for passengers.

“The bus driver was trying to overtake the truck whilst being blocked by a Zebra Kiss bus that was travelling in the same direction.

“The bus drivers were racing and blocking each other along the road. They were openly putting the lives of passengers in danger,” Asst Comm said while adding: “The Police will ensure that the law takes its course on the two bus drivers and the bus companies’ management.”
