Passengers on Thursday cheated death after another cross-border bus caught fire in Masvingo. This is the third cross-border bus in less than two weeks that was involved in an accident.
In a dramatic turn of events earlier today, a Timboon Coaches bus, en route from South Africa to Zimbabwe, was entirely consumed by a fire near Masvingo. The incident has left the vehicle in ruins, with photographs capturing thick, black smoke rising into the sky as the bus was engulfed in flames.
The exact cause of the blaze remains undetermined at this moment. Authorities have yet to provide details regarding the number of passengers on board or any potential injuries or fatalities resulting from the fire. Emergency responders have arrived and are actively working to manage the situation and safeguard any individuals who may have been on the bus.
Pictures have circulated on social media as people share and raise awareness of the accident. Other people who have relatives on board have even begun to panic.
Less than a week ago, a Tamuka bus that was coming to Zimbabwe from South Africa had an accident, and passengers were killed, including the driver. Bus companies are being urged to make sure their buses are serviced and their drivers are well-trained. (iharare.com)
