The police in Zimbabwe's capital, Harare, are cracking down on unregistered taxis and buses to make the roads safer and less chaotic.

Commuter vans need a special license, proper registration, and insurance, and to operate legally, they must also be judged safe to drive.
Police are worried about reports of corruption. They warn that anyone caught...
