#ItsNotYourStoryToTell No family should learn of a loved one’s death through graphic crash images shared for clicks. These are active investigation sites — and grieving families deserve dignity. Pause before you post. Respect the law. Respect privacy. #RespectPrivacy

The Minister of Transport and Infrastructural Development, Honourable Adv. F.T. Mhona, this afternoon launched the Festive Season Road Safety Education, Enforcement, and Awareness Campaign at Gosha Primary School near Juru Business Centre. In his address, the Minister highlighted the sobering context for the campaign, noting that the country records an average of five road fatalities daily and nearly 2,000 annually. These accidents cost the nation approximately US$406 million each year, representing about 3% of GDP. As part of the government’s preparedness, the Ministry received 10 fully equipped ambulances for highway emergencies. Minister Mhona detailed key interventions, including the Festive Season Emergency Care framework, which will station ambulances and medical personnel at all tollgates and accident-prone spots to ensure victims receive help within the critical first hour. The Minister reinforced Statutory Instrument 10 of 2025, which mandates that public passenger vehicle drivers be at least 30 years old and possess five years of experience, citing the risks associated with youth and inexperience. He also emphasized that tech-driven enforcement would be enhanced to police speeding, red-light violations, and other offences. Furthermore, he reiterated that multi-stakeholder teams from the Zimbabwe Republic Police, the Vehicle Inspectorate Department, and the Traffic Safety Council of Zimbabwe will conduct a comprehensive enforcement campaign during the holiday period. Minister Mhona appealed directly to drivers to avoid speeding, overloading, drunk driving, and using defective vehicles or mobile phones while driving. Passengers were urged to refuse to board overloaded vehicles and to always wear seatbelts, while pedestrians were advised to wear reflective clothing at night and use designated crossings. The launch was attended by the TSCZ board and management, representatives of the Insurance Council of Zimbabwe, members of the ZRP, Chief Chinamhora, and various senior government officials.

Good catching up with @WFP 🇿🇼Director Barbara Clemens to wrap up 2025. We looked back & projected forward on Zimbabwe’s harvest & food security outlook for 2026. Canada🇨🇦 a top 6 donor of WFP global will remain engaged. Partenariats public-privé, un objectif commun clé pour 2026.

This is an urgent reminder for the @MinistryofTID and @Moha_Zim to deal decisively with mshikashika and kombis! Please 🙏🙏 for life's sake

Road crashes are an urgent threat to development and the demographic dividend, but there is hope. Read my recent article on the subject in @TSatNewslive southernafricantimes.com/a-g…

Ministry Permanent Secretary @nickmangwana has called for responsible reporting of road traffic accidents, saying no family should wake up to the shock of seeing their loved ones' final moments plastered across social media. #NyashaMangabaFoundation

Every reckless driver is a potential killer on our roads. A reckless kombi driver has been jailed for 2 years and banned from driving FOR LIFE after driving against oncoming traffic in Harare. This is a clear message: reckless driving endangers lives and will not be tolerated. Public safety is non-negotiable. #Bring back sanity to our roads. #SafetyFirst #thereisnosecondchance #RoadSafety @tscz1 @PoliceZimbabwe @RoadSafeZim

We hope this is not an isolated case. Traffic crimes need to be met with the same gravity as the damage they cause.

A joint Heroes and Defence Forces Holiday Road Safety Awareness Campaign was held at Mbare Musika today. The campaigns were led by Officer Commanding Harare Province, Commissioner Maxwell Chikunguru and Chief Staff Officer (Press and Public Relations), Commissioner Paul Nyathi.
