A life has been lost — not by chance, but by reckless decision-making.
A Harare driver has been jailed after allowing a passenger to hang onto a moving kombi before speeding and losing control. The victim fell, suffered critical injuries, and died days later.
⚠️ This was 100% preventable.
Every day, we see passengers hanging on doors, standing in moving vehicles, or being overloaded into kombis.
👉 This is not normal.
👉 This is not safe.
👉 This is criminal negligence.
One mistake. One life gone. One driver in prison.
