Lives in crisis: How Bodaboda crashes leave families in ruins

Dar es Salaam. “Since my husband passed away, life has been difficult. Only God knows how my children and I manage to eat; we have no certainty about tomorrow,” says Mariam Jumanne, a mother of two.

Her husband died in a motorcycle accident in 2020 while working as a Bodaboda operator. At the time, their daughter was three, and Mariam was four months pregnant.
