Farai Dziva|The Zimbabwe Republic Police has warned haulage truck drivers against illegally ferrying passengers during the lockdown arguing doing so is risky in the wake of the deadly new Coronavirus.

ZRP National Spokesperson Assistant Commissioner Paul Nyathi also urged the public to adhere to stipulated regulations as level 2 of the lockdown begins.

He said :
“Police and other security services we are working with are ready to ensure that lockdown measures are followed in this second leg as industry and commerce are opening.

We will serve the public to ensure that all lockdown regulations are duly followed
People will travel within cities however intercity travel remains prohibited.

We remind people that for public service vehicles, only Zupco buses will be transporting the public.

We are aware that some kombis are now operating at night and we strongly warn those that are doing so that they will be arrested.

We want to also warn haulage truck drivers who are abusing their positions and pirating as public service vehicles.

They must know that they are breaking the law, and more so, are exposing themselves and the passengers they illegally carry to the risk of contracting Covid-19.”
