Hope you also use them to identify uncollected garbage. Tanzwa nekubuditsa mabin everyday and having to put them back after non-collection

There is gross violation of citizens privacy in this scenario.Your drones will not only capture the saw called illegal structured, who knows what else will be captured and be used against those captured.I smell a rat here,watch the space

Why dont you provide clean water as well?
Why dont you remove garbage and provide ambulances to local medical centres?
Why not provide medicines in your clinics?
Why not fix street lights in motorways?— Tinashe (@CollinsTinashe) February 12, 2019
