A devastating road traffic accident occurred on February 13, 2024, along the Masvingo-Beitbridge Road in Zimbabwe, resulting in a tragic loss of life. The initial death toll of 17 has since risen to 28, with two additional victims passing away in the days following the accident. Furthermore, an adult female passenger succumbed to her injuries on February 19, 2025, while receiving medical treatment at Parirenyatwa Hospital in Harare.
The Zimbabwean government has provided state-assisted funerals for the victims and organized a memorial service to honor the lives lost. The service allowed families, friends, and the community to come together and mourn the devastating loss. The government’s intervention highlighted the need for improved road safety measures to prevent such tragedies in the future.
The Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) have issued an urgent appeal for public assistance in identifying two victims. The unidentified individuals include an adult male wearing a red t-shirt and black trousers, and an adult female wearing a black jersey and black trousers. Authorities urge anyone with information to come forward and report to the nearest police station or contact the National Complaints Desk.
