Police across Zimbabwe started seizing cars without license plates. They plan to keep these vehicles until their owners complete the proper paperwork. The rules apply to every car on the road—family cars, business vehicles, and even government cars must have the correct plates. Police warned drivers that driving without proper registration breaks the Vehicle Registration and Licensing Act.
Law enforcement discovered many cars change hands without legal ownership transfers. Some vehicles sell five or seven times but still list the first buyer as the owner. This creates big problems when these cars appear in crimes or traffic violations. Police struggle to find who actually drives the car during these incidents. Officers promise to investigate these cases fully and take legal action against people who break these rules.
The police urge all car owners to register their vehicles correctly. When someone buys a used car, they must process ownership changes within two weeks after purchase. These rules help maintain order on Zimbabwe's roads. The police believe driver cooperation remains essential for public safety and proper vehicle tracking.
Authorities warn drivers to take this announcement seriously. Cars caught without proper plates face immediate impounding. Owners can only retrieve their vehicles after they complete all registration requirements. Zimbabwe has stepped up enforcement of vehicle registration laws and ownership transfer regulations to address these widespread problems.
