Meanwhile, cases of motorbikes colliding with vehicles are prevalent in Mashonaland emanating from human error.

A member of the war veteran association Shambakumanja Shambakumanja denounced new farmers who cycle motorbikes without driving licences.

"These accidents are rampant because most new farmers are just riding without licences so at the end of the day an accident is recorded.

"Police should arrest these cyclists and a stiff purnishment should be implemented to those found wanting," bellowed the war veteran.
