Anti-Graft Body Probes Driving License Fraud.

Zimbabwe's corruption watchdog launched investigations into driving schools bribing officials for fake licenses. The scheme involves instructors paying Vehicle Inspectorate Department staff to certify unqualified drivers.

"These practices threaten road safety," said Anti-Corruption Commission Chairman Michael Reza at a Harare event Thursday.

The Traffic Safety Council signed an anti-corruption pledge at the ceremony. Board leaders promised to fight graft and work openly with the public.

"This partnership marks a new era between our agencies," Reza said. He called the pledge more than paperwork - it shows real dedication to honest service.

The council wants people to trust its work and report bad drivers. Clean operations help citizens support road safety programs.

Reza linked fake licenses to rising crash numbers. These undermine plans to cut road deaths in half by 2030.

Traffic Safety Council deputy chair Lizwe Bhunu and director Munesu Munodawafa joined other board members in signing the pledge. The document creates what Reza called a "social contract" against corruption.

"Fighting corruption touches every part of society," Reza said. "It needs both strong laws and moral action."

The investigation continues as officials work to identify those involved in the license fraud scheme.
