Be careful on the road this festive season

Over the past weekend in Greater Gaborone, four people tragically lost their lives in separate accidents, a stark reminder of how vulnerable we are on the roads, especially during this busy time of year.

The accidents, which claimed the lives of three pedestrians and one driver, paint a grim picture of the dangers faced by everyone on the road, not just motorists but also pedestrians. In one case, a young man was fatally struck by a truck whilst attempting to cross the road. In another, a 22-year-old pedestrian lost his life after being hit by a car. These incidents highlight the fragile line between life and death when proper caution isn't observed by both pedestrians and drivers.
