ZIMBABWE records a road traffic accident every 15 minutes with at least five fatalities daily, the Traffic Safety Council of Zimbabwe (TSCZ) yesterday said.
The TSCZ, in a Road Safety Performance Review booklet on Zimbabwe launched in Harare, said 94% of the accidents were due to human error.
“According to TSCZ and national traffic police statistics, road accidents occur on Zimbabwe’s roads every 15 minutes in which five people die every day or approximately 153 people every month,” the booklet reads in part.
