_Since March 30 to date, a total of 47 truck drivers have been arrested. We are, however, warning haulage truck and private vehicle drivers who are ferrying people between cities, within cities, and even some border jumpers that it is a criminal offence._

_Besides being a criminal offence, this act poses a risk to the Government’s efforts to fight the Covid-19 pandemic._

_Police checkpoints, roadblocks and patrols have been activated to account for such drivers. Haulage trucks should stick to their mandate of transporting cargo from one point to the other. Transport companies are implored to take action against errant drivers._

Meanwhile, GMAZ has also warned truck drivers who are bringing Maize from South Africa who are travelling with female companions and their wives that it is unaccepted behaviour:

_The Government of Zimbabwe has communicated its concerns to us with regards the conduct of most of your truck drivers who tend to travel in pairs with the opposite gender outside the scope of their duties and also carry passengers for monetary benefit._

_While the country critically requires maize imports to address national food security, the aforesaid conduct cannot be tolerated and condoned as it militates against the national effort in combating the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic._
