Dozens of fatal accidents killing hundreds of people along the Harare-Beitbridge road which is the busiest in the country have been witnessed over the past years. The road which is yet to be dualised is busy with traffic which goes to South Africa as well as other regional countries like Zambia, Mozambique and Malawi.
Several accidents involving Mhunga Bus Company over the years resulted in the bus company being temporarily being suspended from operating.
