Officers from the Directorate of Road Traffic in Malawi on Saturday night impounded a bus belonging to Taqwa for carrying extra passengers, Malawi24 can report.
According to reports, some extra passengers in the bus were standing while others were seated on the floor of the bus.
The bus was also deemed not roadworthy for the long trip from Malawi to Tanzania.
Road traffic directorate officials confirmed to have received a tip from passengers on the bus, leading to the impounding of the bus.
Meanwhile the bus has been stationed at Road Traffic directorate offices at Area 4 in Lilongwe as passengers are yet to have another bus for the trip to Tanzania.
Authorities have disclosed that they are to fine the owner of the bus for contravening the rules on maximum capacity of passengers.
Following a series of bus accidents in Malawi, authorities imposed laws that seek to reduce road accidents.
That’s good, the rules must work accordingly. Next time they will learn how to respect. It’s better to save people’s lives than making them happy by allowing them to do no sense. Keep it up.
Awachita bwino after all this people sayenda bwino pansewu
Ball chit
First start with those guys who are selling tickets if they have permit to stay here or anatumidwa kuzatha anthu cause they know the capacity of the vehicle why amawonjezela kugulitsa ma ticket now it’s time for immigration to show that you are working for malawians
Sorry
Bravity on duty is what we need.Its better to delay and have life than go hurry while dying.
Kuchepa kwa ma bus isakhala nkhani yoti anthu muziphwanya malamulo
Thumb up traffic officers!!!
Why not here in Malawi but I know ignorance of other Malawians get advantages for nothing.every bus has its wait when it’s above they pay fin and the regulate speed in tz also why here in Malawi they have to do by our law
Its OK. When you are not the one traveling.
Akagwanso nde asazati bowe ife
Road traffic siolakwa, ndipo achita bwino kuyigwira. these are peoples lives we are talking about. Kaya ndi bus yokhayo yopita ku Tz that doesn’t matter, what matters is protecting the passengers. Our law has to be respected. Mpaka anthu kutambalala zoona mu aisle muja? nxaaa
This is the best move ever, lets protect innocent lives

Nowadays its better to use Falcon.
Bus imenei imaonjeza kupakila anthu ngati nkhuni
why do u board a bus already full
Laws must be obeyed. Any organization that does not perform, does not do right, does not respect law of land rights of citizens must surely be closed.
Being proactive is better than being reactive. We do not have to wait for an accident and loss of life before acting. The fact is that the bus exceeded the seating capacity, thereby breaking the law. We also understand the bus is unroadworthy! It does not matter whether it is the only bus operating between Tanzania and Malawi, lives must be protected and the law must take its course.

To me passengers are to blame.
It’s because there is no competitive bus company that can offer those services.
Ur comment is irrelevant
Imbecile
Ilipo Falcon
mmmmmmmm
they should pay and learn to respect laws of Malawi
Even mlw buses don’t. Esp the ones from llg to Blantyre n mzuzu. Even in broad daylight
That is the way to go. Please continue
Burn them to not come back here coz they not respecting our country’s rules.
ban or burn
Taqua ndi Khalidwe lake la Overloading
This was very much overdue…these Taqwa buses make sure they fill every space before starting off. We need road traffic patrols (both police and road traffic directorate officers) after normal hours, including weekend.
Most local minibuses operate over capacity immediately after 5 pm.
Bring sanity on the roads of Malawi, please!
Road Traffic sizocheza. Tiyeni nawo ma exceeding achuluka mu nseu mu.
