A railway is not an entertainment unit. The way some kids even adults play along the railway sometimes even along a busy road is quite amazing. These kids bumped into a train and therefore are to blame.

Both driver and government are to blame here. The kids are innocent victims and should be compensated for their injuries. The driver must have been aware people are the vinicity of his train as people live along that railroad. The government should have put measures/barriers to stop people getting close to rails or even penalties for train companies should they hit villagers. But obviously welfare of it’s citizens is not the government’s concern. We are shameful a people who think change will come from somewhere. There is nothing common about common sense in Malawi.

This is really sad, however the rail line authorities sensitised people living nearby the lines to be cautious of whatever they do when nearby these lines. In this case the person has hit the train as it was in its lines. It did not derail

Sad development. People are to blame because they let children play in the rail lines. Only if parents and the community prohibit playing on the rail lines such accidents would be prevented. We cannot expect governemt to put police officers along the rail lines no. We should be responsible for the lives of our children
