In a bid to restore safety and rid the area of negative energies, traditional leaders and church groups in Zimbabwe have performed cleansing rituals along Seke Road. The move comes in response to a recent surge in serious accidents on the busy route, which has left locals concerned about the safety of the road.
The ceremonies, which involved traditional and spiritual leaders, aimed to purify the area and bring peace to the road. Locals hope that the rituals will help reduce the number of accidents and prevent further tragedies.
While some people welcomed the initiative, others pointed out that road design and engineering may also play a role in the accidents.
