Eight years have passed since one of Tanzania’s darkest and most heartbreaking tragedies. On May 6, 2017, the nation was shaken to its core when a school bus carrying students from Lucky Vincent Primary School was involved in a fatal accident in the Karatu district.
The bus, which was transporting children to sit for a mock national examination, lost control on a wet and winding mountain road. Within seconds, what should have been a proud academic milestone turned into a devastating national loss.
