Mutare Safety Report

Harare-Mutare highway (A3) near Christmas Pass descent: road surface severely damaged on the downhill section after the tollgate. Heavy trucks have created deep ruts. Approach slowly in wet conditions — road becomes extremely slippery.

Mutare–Harare highway at Headlands: staged breakdowns used to rob motorists who stop to assist. A vehicle is parked with hazards on; when a motorist stops, suspects emerge from the roadside. Do not stop for unknown breakdowns after dark. Call police rather than stopping yourself.
