Deaths caused by Kombis irk in Harare residents

Harare Residents Trust has reported that numerous deaths caused by commuter omnibuses in the capital city are now a cause for concern for the residents who now fear for their safety.

"The deaths of people at the hands of kombis in the central business district in Harare should be a cause for urgent concern, Residents," the tryst said. "Should the Municipal and State Police be chasing after fleeing kombi drivers operating at undesignated points in order to arrest the drivers? Or the law enforcement agents should just take note of the vehicle registration numbers and and pursue them using the personal details stored at the central vehicle registry (CVR)?"

The trust said lawlessness should never be tolerated by the authorities and the citizens.

"When this happens, the owners of the kombis breaking the law and causing unnecessary congestion in the central business district will know that they have a duty and obligation to abide by the city by-laws and State laws relating to traffic regulations. What should our Councillors and MPs do regarding this situation? Talking opens up opportunities to find lasting solutions," said the trust.
