POLICE in Mutare District, churches and other stakeholders have set this Saturday as a day to pray against escalating road carnages and murder cases.
This year only, more than 20 people have perished in road accidents as well as in murder-related cases in the province.
Acting Manicaland provincial police spokesperson, Assistant Inspector Wiseman Chinyoka, said the event will be held at Mpudzi Business Centre, about 40-km from Mutare.
“Police and various stakeholders such as churches, community leaders, Traffic Safety Council of Zimbabwe, and Vehicle Inspection Department, among others join hands to pray against incessant road carnages, and murder cases that have been happening in the province, particularly along Mutare-Masvingo Highway,” he said.
In one of the latest accidents that happened near Mpudzi Business Centre, four people died – two of them on the spot – when a vehicle they were travelling in encroached onto the opposite lane and crashed into an oncoming car.
