    Driver probably dozed off. I thought these companies were instructed not let their drivers move at night?? Happy that no one died.

  5. Sorry   April 14, 2015 at 4:29 pm

    @ Beautiful Moma agreed.
    Government should enforce ban on night travels. These guys like traveling at nite. Imagine leaving Mpulungu around midmorning reaching Kitwe around 03/04 hrs next day continuously

  6. kamata   April 14, 2015 at 4:29 pm

    They should stop buses moving at nite,pf a group of coorrupt leaders

  7. jobreaker   April 14, 2015 at 6:43 pm

    well at least no one died,that’s a relief but I’ll too have to agree with moma too,they should regulate the time these buses work

    We in the upnd are just happy that no lives were lost. We hope that the pf can ensure that the rtsa are working proactively to put in place measures that befit our roads. Poor planning and lack of effective measures is the pfs forte. Another fail by pf. Please let us get rid of this mess

      The voter turnout was poor as only 7,367 people cast their ballots against 26,362 registered voters.

        How do you lose something u never had. We have gained because we are second in all and now officially biggest opposition. I wouldn’t be proud with that poor voter turn out. Once more thank corruption rb

    Thank God no one is dead

  13. Bhinsimatako   April 14, 2015 at 8:29 pm

    ah! what about a ban? let not only open vans and trucks be banned alone, but this clearly indicates that even closed up vans and trucks such as mini buses and coaches should face the polite ban as well.

  14. jobreaker   April 14, 2015 at 8:31 pm

    hater if u win we will know

  15. jobreaker   April 14, 2015 at 8:33 pm

    When Sata was alive, it was alleged that he was sacrificing people. Now he’s gone and these things still continue. Clearly the one sacrificing is in the opposition. Who could it be? Hint: he belongs to the F…. M..on

  18. juku1   April 15, 2015 at 6:59 am

    Simple ban traveling after 22hrs all public buses should be parked inspite of where they ar even on the midle of inbetween towns nd start off at 05hrs A
    m.period.

  19. Cool temple   April 15, 2015 at 7:15 am

    These Drivers are so careless mwee ! Too much competition on the roads by these drivers because Bus transport are now like bars or Tarverns yapaka too much. That’s why they are moving at night without resting. RTSA work up and regulate movement of these Public Buses and. Drivers.

  20. Eliya   April 15, 2015 at 7:43 am

    Wishing U a quick recovery, sad story is the investigations stating that the Driver was over speeding, please drivers drive responsibly! ROAD SMART, LIFE IS PRECIOUS.

    My advise is upgrade all highway into dual carriage ways and put effective speed limiters on all public service vehicles
