Tanzania was left heartbroken after a tragic school bus accident in the Karatu District claimed the lives of 32 children, two teachers, and a driver from Lucky Vincent Primary School in Arusha. The students were on their way to a mock national exam when their bus skidded off a rain-soaked mountain road and plunged into a ravine.
The nation united in grief as President John Magufuli declared three days of mourning, calling it “a tragedy that has broken the heart of the nation.” Vigils, prayers, and candlelight ceremonies were held across the country to honor the young victims.
At Lucky Vincent Primary School, emotional crowds gathered to pay tribute to the children — remembered not only as students but as bright, hopeful souls whose dreams were cut short far too soon.
