Zimbabwe police impounded 186 defective vehicles during an ongoing road safety campaign that began on Sept. 23. Officers discovered commuter buses, private cars, and larger buses with faulty lights, cracked windscreens, and makeshift repairs using cardboard instead of proper windows. National police spokesperson Commissioner Paul Nyathi said the operation targets dangerous vehicles that threaten passenger safety.
Authorities plan to continue inspections through Oct. 27 and emphasized that vehicle maintenance represents a collective obligation for all drivers. The police removed transport deemed unsafe from operation immediately upon discovery. Nyathi stressed that motorists must maintain their vehicles according to government standards to prevent confiscation and protect passengers who depend on safe transportation.
