The Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) has arrested a total of 6,540 individuals under their ongoing operation, “No to Mushikashika,” aimed at curbing illegal public transport activities.
On January 19, 2025 alone, 383 arrests were made, bringing the cumulative total since the start of the operation on January 9, 2025, to 6,540 arrests.
The ZRP “So far, 190 touts have been arrested, and 61 unregistered and plateless vehicles have been impounded as part of efforts to ensure the safety and orderliness of the public transport sector.”
The crackdown has been a significant part of the police’s efforts to eliminate illegal and unsafe transport practices, commonly known as “mushikashika,” which are often linked to unregulated passenger transport services.
