Make the roads safer for all of us
I watched Tendai Biti on TV the other night saying that if Morgan Tsvangirai had a motorcade that warned people of his approach and made them get off the road then the tragic accident in which Susan died wouldn’t have happened. And so he appealed to Mugabe to give Morgan the protection he needed. True, Susan might have been spared but maybe the police outriders waving at the lorry driver would have been killed. Morgan might be prime minister, and Mugabe a dictator, but this doesn’t mean that either of them should be put on a pedestal. The outcome of this tragedy shouldn’t be more motorcades, it should be better policing of our roads, improved infrastructure and defensive driving. This would make us all safer in Zimbabwe. At the very least Mugabe’s obnoxiously large motorcade should shared with Tsvangirai instead of adding to the arrogance of politicians our roads.

All Democratically elected Politican are like national treasurs they represent country and the people. Their security on Road, off Road is everyone responsibility. Improving Infrastructure in Zimbabwe case will take a bit of time. So what government has to make sure that is every member of government and his family is secured from any threat.
Life of neither Mr. Mugabes or Mr. Tsungari or Mrs. Tsungari is soo cheap that it shell be wasted on road. If they have to die they should die like a hero not on street.
Government has to give ample security to every member of the perliament.
