ZRP Cracks Down On Mushikashika, Pirate Taxis And Road Lawlessness

The Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) has reassured motorists that they will not face arrest or inconvenience at roadblocks as long as they adhere to the country’s road rules and regulations.

This comes in response to concerns raised by some motorists about unnecessary delays during the ZRP’s “No to Mushikashika, Pirate Taxis and Lawlessness on the Roads” operation.

ZRP spokesperson Commissioner Paul Nyathi said the operation targets those picking up and dropping passengers at undesignated points, creating imaginary lanes, and operating without proper permits or vehicle fitness. The goal is to ensure road safety and order for all motorists.

Commissioner Nyathi encouraged all drivers to follow traffic rules and cooperate with police officers to maintain a smooth and safe driving experience.

He also warned that anyone attempting to bribe police officers would face stern action. Reads the statement:

The Zimbabwe Republic Police notes and appreciates the varied comments on social media by the public and interested groups on the operation, “No to Mushikashika, Pirate Taxis and Lawlessness on the Roads”.

In this regard, the Police implores all motorists to be law-abiding citizens by exhibiting good driving conduct on the roads.

The current operation will target everybody who is posing as a danger to other innocent motorists by causing congestion, picking and dropping passengers at undesignated points, creating imaginary lanes, driving against the flow of traffic (one-way) and those operating as Public Service Vehicles but they do not have relevant permits, route authority and vehicle fitness.

The Police is aware that some kombi operators and crew have removed red plates and are now operating with yellow plates while playing hide and seek with law enforcement officers.

The Police will therefore arrest anyone engaged in reckless driving conduct irrespective of the fact that one is driving a company vehicle, family vehicle or Public Service Vehicle. The law is the law. Let us all comply for the effective maintenance of law and order in the country and road safety.

In the same vein, those motorists who will try to bribe Zimbabwe Republic Police members will face stern action.

Transporters or public service vehicle operators should ensure that their drivers follow the law and are exemplary on the roads.

All in all, no one will be arrested or inconvenienced by the Police as long as one is driving properly and following the country’s road rules and regulations.

The Zimbabwe Republic Police reiterates that all Zimbabweans should cooperate with Police officers deployed for this operation in order to promote road safety for all.

Asi vanhu hatina kwedu. Vakasiyana nazvo we say, "inaction/ inertia. Kutambira mari yemahara." Vaite toti, "Vari kutsvaga back to school." Ko kungotedzera mutemo uone kuti ukasvika pablock unobatwa nemhosva ipi or unogumhiwa sei. Let's not kill our country because of yesterday

ZRP must carry out their duties without fear or favour, a considerable number of the so called mushikashika belong to the unscrupulous ZRP members. They operate scot free, as if they have immunity against arrest.

It's all about the US$5, which changes hands either at a main road block or a temporary road block. Five bucks get you passed all of them.

Since conducting these type of operations, is there any changes so far? Just introduce public transport like effective Zupco buses Shikashika apo parker ega kusina ano kwira.

Why would they do that? They own most of the taxis. Most policeman can't even drive their own cars. How can they tell someone else to do something properly when they can't do it themselves.

soon he will introduce the operation "No to members of the public taking videos of zrp accepting bribes" In this regard, the Police implores all motorists to be law-abiding citizens by exhibiting good cellphone conduct and stop taking videos on the roads. The current operation will target everybody who is posing as a danger to other innocent police by taking videos of police accepting bribes. The Police will therefore arrest anyone engaged in reckless video filming conduct...

The Traffic section is burdening the police in an unconstitutional way. Traffic duties should be moved to Metro Police section of the City and town councils.

Carry it on for more than three months and the drivers and commuters will adjust behaviour. It is unfortunate that the police only become very active for a short period of time with a reason behind the activeness. I hope this is not being done for the new commissioner to see that they can work if they want, or, maybe, he is the one who has ordered them to work.
