Asst Comm Nyathi also urged members of the public to avoid boarding Mshikashika or unregistered vehicles and instead, use public transport. He said: > Police would be checking for various traffic violations, stolen motor vehicles, smuggling of minerals, criminal movements, cattle rustlers and drug traffickers on all major highways and roads in the country. > Police will impound all defective or un-roadworthy vehicles in order to safeguard lives. > Members of the public are urged to avoid boarding Mshikashika or unregistered vehicles as they risk being mugged. > Stakeholders such as the Traffic Safety Council of Zimbabwe and Vehicle Examination Department will be working closely with the Zimbabwe Republic Police to ensure that the holidays are accident- free through awareness campaigns and blitz on errant motorists. > Let us all remember that road safety is a collective responsibility. Criminal elements often take advantage of holidays to intensify their criminal enterprises such as committing unlawful entry, theft and robbery. This year, Good Friday falls on 7 April, Easter Sunday, is on 09 April, and Easter Monday (a continuation of the Easter celebration, for some Christian denominations), is on 10 April 2023.
