What happened

The Truck Drivers Union of Malawi warned that it may suspend all heavy goods vehicle operations on the Mzuzu–Karonga Road unless the government addresses dangerous road conditions. The union described the stretch as having severe potholes, collapsed edges, and a lack of proper road markings or guardrails. The route is a strategic corridor vital for the importation of fuel and cargo into Malawi.
