It has become very common to see vehicles by the road sides, which have been in involved in serious road accidents during or soon after public holidays.
Some individuals associate any holiday as a time of careless and senseless merry making.
They indulge in heavy beer drinking and over eating, as if there is no tomorrow !
As I was taking my morning walk on 25 May 2010, I found a Van being towed away in Nkana East, Kitwe's Central Street.
This was after it was involved in a road accident during the night of Monday 24 May 2010, the eve of Africa Freedom Day holiday.
The driver is said to have escaped with minor injuries.
He is now now faced with the burden of repairing the vehicle and being charged for driving under the influence of alcohol.
The Bible says : -
"The one who loves pleasure will be a poor person; whoever loves wine and anointing oil will not be rich." (Proverbs 21:17).
"Wine is a mocker and strong drink is a brawler; whoever goes astray by them is not wise." (Proverbs 20:1).
