Zimbabwe’s economy has been battered by a years-long currency crisis and high inflation. Most people in the country frequently travel to South Africa to buy goods for resale or personal use. Many also travel to visit family or for work.
Road accidents are common in Zimbabwe, where some drivers overload their vehicles and exceed the speed limit. The poor condition of Zimbabwe’s roads has also been blamed for contributing to accidents.
