WhatsApp 11 November 2025

I trust this finds you well. We are a group of transporters and drivers who are concerned about the recent accident in which a train collided with a truck. This is not the first incident of its kind. Drivers may be at fault for not adhering to road signs at railway crossings, but on the other hand, the train’s speed in urban areas is highly questionable, as can be seen in the video. We would like to know from TransNamib whether the train’s speed is regulated or not, as we are concerned that if this continues, it could have greater impacts in the future. May you please follow up on this and revert via the media, as it is a matter of great concern? Looking forward to hearing from you.
