By A Correspondent- The Police has impounded over 8000 kombis accused of operating in defiance of Covid-19 lockdown measures.

The government last year when COVID-19 induced lockdowns started banned all commuter omnibuses serve for those operating under the Zimbabwe United Passengers Company (ZUPCO).

Since then kombis have been sneaking back onto the road playing a cat and a mouse game with the police.

National police spokesperson Assistant Commissioner Paul Nyathi told the state media that the police will continue to impound all kombis operating illegally.

“More than 8000 illegally operating kombis have to date been impounded by the police across the country. It’s a countrywide operation. Kombi operators should ensure that their kombis are not on the roads.”
