We regret to inform our valued passengers that one of our buses, registration number BABA 2898, caught fire today near the new toll gate in Mazabuka, currently under construction. The bus was traveling from Lusaka to Johannesburg, South Africa.
Fortunately, all passengers and luggage are safe, with no reported injuries or loss of belongings. We thank God for preserving the lives of our passengers, as it is written: "The Lord will keep you from all harm, he will watch over your life." - Psalm 121:7
