"ZUPCO Monopoly Was Better", Mushikashikas Irk Citizens

Members of the public say unregistered public transport vehicles and illegal taxis commonly known as mushikashika are causing traffic congestion and should be removed as a matter of urgency.

There has been an increase in the number of mushikashika vehicles which pick up and drop passengers at undesignated points causing traffic congestion on main roads during peak hours.

Mushikashika is illegal and the operators are always engaged in running battles with police in the city centre and this has resulted in serious accidents.

A survey by The Herald on Monday, 20 March revealed that along Leopold Takawira Street, behind Queen Elizabeth School, there were operators ferrying people to Westgate, Marlborough, Greencroft, Avondale, Chinhoyi, Karoi and even Kariba.

Westgate roundabout was inundated with mushikashika vehicles in the form of Toyota Vitz, Toyota Wish,Toyota Noah, blocking traffic.

Other undesignated pick-up points in the city centre included the intersection of Joseph Msika Street and Robert Mugabe Road, corner Sam Nujoma Street and Leonid Brezhnev Avenue, among other roads.

Pauline Sunganoyemoyo, said things had normalised when the government banned kombies and established the ZUPCO monopoly in 2020. Said Sunganoyemoyo:

Things were getting back to normal when all public transport operators were ordered to operate under the ZUPCO franchise.

Mushikashika was low, but when the transport system was liberalised, mushikashika including kombis resurfaced and now they are a menace in the city centre.

Another citizen, Freddy Dhliwayo, urged the police to eradicate mushikashika from the country’s roads. He said:

The mushikashika operators are causing a lot of trouble in the city centre. Recently, a woman was nearly run over by a vehicle that was escaping from the police.

We want the police to act and remove all those operating in undesignated areas.

the problem with these so called journalist they carry out their on investigations like rookies then come out with their own conclusions that lack genuineness. You can not base your conclusion from 10people then you say the public.

The solution is not Zupco monopoly. Order should be restored with wisdom. There are people in the government who are paid to think, – let them come out with a better solution.

This view is from an individual not using public transport. The mere fact is that Zimbabwe is congested with motor vehicles and individuals using their personal vehicles must avoid the peek hours and offer public transport operaters to do their jobs. Dr Big Head PhD in Psychology

No,if you live in Harare you will realise that the mentioned roads are always congested regardless of the hour because of road blockages by the shika shika and it causes a domino effect affecting the whole CBD

Mr Pala my learned friend ask yourself why the Mushikashika aren't complaining about congestion. It's because they can manage that congestion themselves , it's their order and ways of handling business. If you are using your own vehicle just avoid those roads. Dr Big Head PhD in Philosophy

This scenario is as good as "mwana atsva ****u, amai vakatsva musana", very critical. Zupco busses alone can not meet passengers demand to and from & its frustrating to passengers whilst making motorists happy in the roads. Mushika shika congests and affects motorist whilst gives relief to passengers
