On 11 October 1979 the bridge was bombed by the Southern Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) army under the command of prime minister Ian Smith. The planted bomb detonated shortly after a south-bound [[Tanzania-Zambia Railways]] (TAZARA) passenger train traveling from [[Nakonde]] to [[Kapiri-Mposhi]] had passed. The train was driven by [[[Evelyn Mwansa]].
