Most people in Harare use buses and vans called kombis to get to work and school. These kombis are owned by private companies, not the government. The government wants to ensure that the kombis are safe and easy to use, so it has rules that kombi owners must follow.

The police are checking that kombis have the right paperwork, including licenses, insurance, and permits. Many kombis are not following all the rules, and their owners need to fix this problem soon.

The city government is supposed to manage the terminuses and ranks where people get on and off the kombis. Touts bother passengers at these places, and there is a lot of trash around.

The police and kombi owners want to work together to improve things. They want the terminuses and ranks to be clean and safe. Kombis should only pick up and drop off passengers at these official stops.

If the city fixes up the terminuses, it will be easier for the police to check that kombis are following the rules. Passengers will also have a nicer experience.

As more people in Harare start to own cars, good public transport will be even more important. The city needs to think carefully about how to make buses and kombis work well for everyone. This means listening to what passengers need and want. The police, kombi owners, and the city must all cooperate to get this right.
