Fatal road traffic accidents remain major concern :: Mmegi Online

Driving around Gaborone at night from Thursday to Sunday is a nightmare. The level of recklessness on the roads can force one to make a decision never to drive on the local roads during that time.

On Saturday after escaping several near-hits on the road around the CBD area, my colleague and I casually discussed the dangers of driving at night and in the wee hours of the morning on weekends.

The excitement, which can easily be characterised as craziness leaves a lot to be desired. On Sunday morning, we woke up to the news that a 43-year-old woman had died on the spot following an accident that occurred by Partial traffic lights in the early hours. The police estimated that the accident occurred at 12:55am.
