The accidents claimed a truck driver and 46 head of cattle, with two people left seriously injured, the police have confirmed. While drivers are saying the road is in a poor condition, Tjozongoro says other factors such as driver fatigue and attitude may have contributed to the accidents. He says closing the road completely to allow construction work to be completed would force motorists onto already congested roads. “The truck that carried the cattle remains at the accident scene while the surviving cattle are being loaded. National Unity Democratic Organisation member of parliament Vetaruhe Kandorozu says while some accidents are due to driver error, many are the result of inadequate planning and underinvestment in road infrastructure.
