MBABANE – Swaziland has been rated in the top five of the worst and deadliest countries with automobile accidents.


The study titled Mortality from Road Crashes in 193 Countries: A Comparison with Other Leading Causes of Death was conducted by the University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute, using fatality statistics published by the World Health Organisation in 2008.


Swaziland is placed at number three in Africa with Namibia leading while Sudan is second.  This is contained in a study compiled by researchers Michael Sivak and Brandon Schoettle.
The study states that the worst 10 deadliest countries are: “1. Namibia (45), 2. Thailand (44), 3. Iran (38), 4. Sudan (36), 5. Swaziland (36), 6. Venezuela (35), 7. Congo (34), 8. Malawi (32), 9. Dominican Republic (32) and 10. Iraq (32).”


They compiled the data to reveal the most fatalities people are prone to die from. Sivak and Schoettle were interested in traffic-related deaths and also took note of fatalities from three other causes: heart disease, malignant neoplasms (shorthand: cancer), and cerebrovascular disease (shorthand: strokes).


They said people in Namibia had a 53 per cent likelyhood to die in automobile collisions than from cancer.
The countries with the lowest fatality rates from auto accidents are: “184. Switzerland (5),185. Netherlands (4), 186. Antigua and Barbuda (4), 187. Tonga (4),188. Israel (4), 189. Marshall Islands (4), 190. Fiji (4), 191. Malta (3),192. Tajikistan (3) and193. Maldives (2),” the report stated.

This is a reflection of the country's road network. The condition of our roads,especially in Manzini is very pathetic.
