Transport and Infrastructure Development Minister Felix Mhona has said that any vehicle involved in an accident after passing through a manned roadblock would result in the accountability of the police officers and/or Vehicle Inspectorate Department (VID) officials manning the roadblock.
Mhona made this statement in response to a question from Manicaland Senator Jane Chitsamba, who had inquired about the Ministry’s efforts to address the surge in road carnage.
In recent weeks, dozens of people have been killed in several accidents across the country, with some of the accidents attributed to unroadworthy vehicles. Said Mhona (via <a href="https://cite.org.zw/traffic-cops-to-be-held-liable-for-accidents/">CITE</a>):
<blockquote>
It is quite saddening that over 26 precious lives were lost in June alone, with over 56 people injured.
We are taking serious measures in terms of mitigatory actions as a Ministry, but this calls for a holistic approach.
Where we have witnessed recklessness, where we did not preserve the sanctity of life on our roads, where others are driving under the influence of alcohol, and through the enforcement agents, we have said if a vehicle passes through a manned checkpoint and is involved in an accident, the officials are accountable.
Not only that, even the operators of those buses. So we are not only charging the drivers.
</blockquote>
Mhona revealed that in all reported accidents, the vehicles did not have certificates of fitness, indicating they were unfit for the road. He said:
<blockquote>
So we cannot continue to watch. We cannot continue to allow such anarchy and lawlessness on our roads. We are tabling a very deterrent Statutory Instrument (SI) to address such malpractices.
We are witnessing 2,000 lives lost per annum in this small country of Zimbabwe. We cannot continue to have such an alarming number.
I want to assure the august House that we will not rest on our laurels as a Ministry, but will continue to appeal to this august House for deterrent measures.
</blockquote>
According to the Traffic Safety Council of Zimbabwe (TSCZ), from January to May 2024, the country had a total of 21,183 road crashes, resulting in 860 fatalities and injuring 4,350 people.

The Minister of Transport in Zimbabwe said that if a vehicle gets into an accident after passing through a roadblock, the police officers at the roadblock will be responsible. This decision was made after many accidents in the country where people died. The Minister also mentioned that many accidents happen because vehicles are not safe to be on the road. He emphasized the need to create laws to prevent accidents and save lives. In the first five months of 2024, there were over 21,000 road accidents in Zimbabwe, causing over 800 deaths. The Minister promised to take action to make the roads safer.

Police Officers Manning Roadblocks To Be Held Liable For Accidents, Says Minister Of Transport

Police in Bulawayo have implored motorists to desist from paying bribes to police officers manning roadblocks during the festive season, reported <a href="https://cite.org.zw/dont-butter-the-cops-police-warn-against-bribery/">CITE</a>.
Addressing reporters and residents at the Bulawayo Media Centre on Thursday during a meeting hosted by the Zimbabwe Union of Journalists, Superintendent Crime Bulawayo West District, Enock Chishiri, warned that bribing police officers can have dire consequences. He said:
<blockquote>
We have mounted several roadblocks around the city to ensure that the vehicles moving on the road are roadworthy and that motorists adhere to road rules.
We urge motorists to desist from offering bribes to police officers on duty. We are curbing corruption and at the same time trying to keep everyone safe. People must not be complacent in committing crimes. 
There have been reports that when a vehicle is overloaded, passengers are asked to lie down or hide somehow so that they are not seen.
Such conduct is dangerous because if anything goes wrong, a lot of people will be hurt.
</blockquote>
Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) acting spokesperson in Bulawayo Province, Assistant Inspector Nomalanga Msebele, said the police will be in full force to enforce traffic rules. She said:
<blockquote>
The police will be having 24-hour roadblocks around the city to enforce compliance. We will be impounding all vehicles that are not roadworthy.
There are a lot of Mshikashika vehicles that pirate at this time of the year. So as means of keeping people safe, we are having these roadblocks, from December 15 to January 15.
As for overloaded buses, we shall be making passengers disembark and we take them back to where they would have come from.
We also urge motorists to exercise extreme caution when on the road. We will be having increased traffic because of people coming in to visit from other places.
Some will be over-excited and will be overspeeding, going through red traffic lights and ignoring road signs.
</blockquote>
According to the ZRP, any member who engages in corruption will be arrested without fear or favour.
The warning extends not only to civilians but also to transporters, clearing agents, and anyone who initiates acts of corruption with police officers.
However, unregistered and defective kombis as well as pirate taxis (mushikashika) are always on the road playing cat and mouse with the police but in most cases, they pay bribes to be able to continue operating.
During the festive season, more people travel for longer distances and pirate taxis, although illegal, provide alternative transport as bus operators traditionally hike fares around Christmas Day.

Video: ZRP traffic officers beat up unidentified man

Zimbabweans have been expressing outrage after an alleged ZRP Notice went viral on social media.  The Notice advises police officers doing traffic duty that their daily targets have been reviewed upwards to $4 400 from $4 000.   However, the police station is no stated although one name appears on the notice, one C/I  Furawu.  Therefore, as Pindula we cannot speak to the authenticity of the said notice.  The full notice reads:
<blockquote>NOTICE TO ALL MEMBERS DOING ENFORCEMENT DUTIES
THIS NOTE SERVES TO NOTTIFY YOU THAT THE DAILY TARGET FOR OUR STATION HAS BEEN RAISED TO $4400-00 FROM THE PREVIOUS $4000-00 AS SUCH EVERYBONDY SHOULD RAISE THE INDIVIDUAL TARGET FORM (sic) THE PREVIOUS ONE

However, Zimbabweans have expressed outrage over this notice saying that that it clearly shows that the Zimbabwe Republic Police’s main aim is revenue collection and not law enforcement.  And as usual usual, Zimbabweans (and other nationalities) went on social media to vent their frustrations and outrage with this situation.
Here are some of the reactions.
Tich Ruzvidzo asked:
<blockquote>So what’s the Police mandate, Revenue “collection” (witch-hunting) or Public protection??</blockquote>
