More than 100 unregistered vehicles have been impounded by the Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) for operating illegally in Harare.
Harare city is fast turning into a traffic jungle with illegal transport operators threatening lives of innocent citizens.
The ZRP has this year launched an operation code named ‘Mushikashika Kwete,’ to restore sanity in the capital.
ZRP National Spokesperson, Senior Assistant Commissioner Charity Charamba, said most of the impounded vehicles are not registered with the Central Vehicle Registry (CVR) and have various defects.
While hundreds of vehicles have been impounded, other ‘mushikashika’ operators were busy doing their movie style business where vehicles are fast turning into scotch carts.
It is however surprising that the public seems to be comfortable in using such dangerous and unroadworthy vehicles, not realising that their continued use of these vehicles gives the operators licence to continue operating.State Media
