Police Warn Kombis, Mushikashika Flouting Lockdown Restrictions
The police have warned commuter omnibuses and pirate taxis (Mushikashika), who are routinely flouting lockdown restrictions by ferrying people to and from the Central Business District as well as around high-density suburbs in Harare that they face arrest.
The transporters ferry desperate vendors to and from fresh produce markets as well people who sneak into town early in the morning before police officers are on the roads.
National police spokesperson Assistant Commissioner Paul Nyathi warned that if caught, the vehicles will be impounded and the drivers and owners arrested. Said Nyathi:
We are concerned with some pirate taxis which are ferrying people from one point to another. Some are transporting people from suburbs into city centres.
We have observed that they evade checkpoints and sometimes they drop people before police checkpoints. We are going to impound their vehicles and the drivers or owners will be arrested.

Since they are not offering any essential service this lockdown period, we urge them to stay at home.
Zimbabwe has been on lockdown since March 30, with the restrictions extended from the initial 21 days by another 14 days to May 3.
However, the implementation of the stay-at-home order has left a lot to be desired as crowds of hungry citizens jostle for foodstuffs at supermarkets and produce markets.
