Consultations for the proposed Road Accident Fund Bill, which aims to establish a system to provide crucial support for victims of road traffic accidents, are currently underway in Marondera.
The Bill is designed to offer timely medical aid, cover funeral expenses, and provide compensation to those injured and the families of those killed in road accidents.
To date, the draft Bill is in place, and consultations have been conducted in four provinces. These consultations will be finalised in January 2026 in the remaining six provinces.
Officials from the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructural Development, led by Permanent Secretary Engineer Joy Makumbe, are holding the consultations at a local hotel in Marondera, Mashonaland East, this Thursday, before spreading to other parts of the country.
From Marondera, the consultations will move to Mutare on Friday at the Traffic Safety Council of Zimbabwe offices, with Masvingo’s Junior High School being the venue on Saturday.
Bindura Primary School will host the consultations on Monday next week, with the ministry wrapping up its programme in the resort city of Victoria Falls.
