2016 the year of fatal accidents

Most predominately, this year saw a rise in the number of fatal accidents. Even the Police Commissioner Keabetswe Makgophe recently spoke of the worrying numbers of road accident that have rocked the country. Makgophe confirmed that by November a total of 361 people had died due to road accidents.

Just this past week five people lost their lives in a road rage but the most horrific accident worth highlighting this year was when a mother, daughter and son lost their lives hours apart, 500km apart due to road accidents. The other accident happened here in Gaborone whilst the other happened near Chadibe Village in the northeast.
