5️⃣A Mashenjere businessman Mr Mabaso lost a wife after his car plunged into the donga over the pavement at the Blackspot.

“Those who know this road and accident history at this Blackspot will agree that the Ministry of roads must investigate the cause of such fatal accidents at the same place.”
“The accidents at this Blackspot are all happening exactly at the same place and vehicle fall in a very similar fashion”
Chief Murinye and political leaders must call upon the government to study the road and try to find solutions.
