Ndlovu’s wife told NewsDay on Monday that the now deceased has breathing difficulties and had been ill for some time.

Some of the passengers who were on the bus accused the bus crew, health officials and the police at Beitbridge Border Post of negligence. A passenger said:

People were crowded at the police station where they queued to pay fines. There was no social distancing, and when the news filtered that a passenger was found dead, the police became jittery and they asked people to observe social distancing.
