Zebra Kiss managing director, Tangisai Mapuranga, confirmed the incident, but said further details are still being gathered. He said:
I do not have finer details of what happened, but thankfully there are no fatalities — only minor injuries have been reported so far.
Speaking to The Herald, Tafadzwa Goliati, national coordinator of the Passengers Association of Zimbabwe (PAZ), urged drivers to exercise caution, particularly when traveling at night. He said:
We have received reports of a serious accident involving a Zebra Kiss bus that fell into a deep pit at Marongora while approaching Chirundu. We continue to urge all drivers to be extremely vigilant and cautious on the roads.
