Only God knows, I sow this accident happening just at the first corner on the place. RIP friends, to survivor s I wish quick recovery.
what happened?
The driver failed to negotiate the corner while the on speed. And it ended up going into very bad slope ,soldeirs were thrown out from the from the truck in the process, and the truck which was still in motion rolled on them. Fortunately there were some buses soldiers on their trip coming behind who stopped and attend to the incident. So the bus took casualties to the hospital. It was very bad moment guys. The soldiers from after assistance, they were left on the scan sitting all over the place under the trees shelter s .oh bad moment.

Wake up call to us all that our men in uniform need special personel carriers, (armoured personel carriers) (APMs), on such trips not cargo trucks.
Too bad for that Mzimba accident
circumstances leading to this accident need to be investigated and treated seriously. I have a feeling the accident could have been avoided.
Mmmmmm maybe but sometimes we have to accept the situation
I hope it poor roads

This government is funny. Everything can’t be politics …even death? We already know that it’s the duty and responsibility of every employer to take care of such issues without even announcing it . In this regard the government is fully responsible we all know. Put politics aside. Please respect our sons and our heroes. May their Souls Rest In the Eternal Peace.
I hope the problem z Malawi Media they dont have something to announce

Very sad , but government its their responsibility to do that , there is no need to announce , they will call this a development me, dont politicise such sad moments like these
So u wanted the president to stay silent?
We all know that its their responsiblity , there is no need to announce as if they politicising the deaths , in fact its not his money its our taxpayers money
Do you believe there is an herbal doctor who cures HIV? I was HIV positive for 9 years and taking ARVS until I was cured completely by Dr Tiam. His herbal medicine is very powerful and reliable you can get him on call or WhatsApp: +2348037284837
Its only God who can do it
Don’t die with ignorance
Stop this nonsense and post your shit somewhere else. Not now. Can’t you see we are mourning the loss of people and you bring your shit. Get life

Very sad. But government why announcing something that is obvious. What we want to know is how are we going to stop this incidents not to happen again. Eg make our road wider. Survey to work on all funny blind curves. Visibility of road warning signs. From the picture it show the road is narrow and with the line on centre shows its a blind curve. Cars of today are wider than the one when the road was designed. Please if you are serious about life do something. Its not only speed that is causing accidents but poor road conditions
So sad. Mizimu yaotisiyao iuse mumtendere. Chauta ayendere mwapadera mabanja onse oferedwa ndikuwalimbikitsa. Chauta akhudze ndi mkono Wamachiritso abale onse avulala ali muzipatala.
May we all as a Nation cry to God Almighty to heal our beautiful land, Malawi. Ngozi zodabwitsa chonchi zanyanya abale.
Sad story

This happens worldwide to announce such things……
Y announcing .already we are waiting patiently to see how they will handle this . Benefits. Otherwise a case of vicarious liability may follow.
