Cops are promising a major crackdown on New Year's chaos. Police in Bulawayo, alongside other groups, are telling everyone to celebrate responsibly, with heightened security operations planned. Provincial police spokesperson Inspector Nomalanga Msebele specifically called out dangerous driving stunts like spinning, drifting, and skidding on public roads. She warned that these activities, common on the final night of the year, cause serious accidents and deaths.
Msebele noted that while vehicle spinning is officially recognized as a sport by the relevant commission, it is only allowed in approved locations. She urged drivers to completely avoid performing these maneuvers in the central business district or any undesignated area. The police message made clear that reckless behavior and unlawful festivities would face zero tolerance.
