Grim reaper again ensured a head start with four lives taken on the very first weekend of August.

To start a butchers list like this is not good at all for our country.

 4 people 

lost their lives this weekend alone in motor vehicle 

related accidents leaving 52 injured. Also today learnt 

from the Windhoek City Police that three 

pedestrians were injured in Windhoek. The shocking reality 

or is it not shocking? all three were minors between the age 

10 and 15.

classic example. a Woman died during an accident on the
Western Bypass after she landed in front of
a bus. She was killed instantly in front of her husband.

the coastal town of Swakopmund

This is recklessness at it's best. 

same vehicle as above. My question why
is this person taking such chances. 

many cases speed, reckless driving, driving under the influence
are some of the major causes of accidents.
