Government suspends Matimbe bus fleet after fatal crash

Transport and Infrastructural Development Minister Felix Mhona suspended the operating license of Blessing Matimbe's entire bus fleet on Thursday. The regulatory action follows a June 1 accident at the Willowvale and Nyandoro Road intersection that killed three people. A government investigation into the crash exposed widespread disregard for road safety laws and vehicle maintenance standards. The transport operator expressed regret and pledged to cooperate fully with safety investigators to resolve the compliance issues. The suspension highlights a renewed government crackdown on public transport operators violating safety regulations.
