Tshova Mubaiwa Challenges ZUPCO Monopoly
Commuter omnibus operators in Bulawayo, operating under the banner “Tshova Mubaiwa Transport Co-operative Company” have approached the High Court challenging Government’s decision to have their kombis operate under the Zimbabwe United Passenger Company (ZUPCO) franchise.
Tshova Mubaiwa Transport Co-operative Company wants an order reviewing and nullifying the Government’s decision which it says is irrational and an act of illegality and a violation of their constitutional rights.
In his founding affidavit, the chairman of the board of directors of Tshova Mubaiwa Transport Co-operative Company, Atlas Moyo said:
This is an application to review and set aside section 4 (2) (a) of the Public Health (Covid-19) Prevention, Containment and Treatment (National Lockdown) Order of 2020. The section of the regulation reads: ‘transport services, whether intracity or inter-city, for the carriage of passengers, shall be restricted to those provided by the parastatal company known as ZUPCO.
… The applicant submits that it has shown good and sufficient cause for the relief it seeks. In the premises, the application seeks an order declaring section 4 (2) (a) of the Public Health (Covid-19) Prevention, Containment and Treatment (National Lockdown) Order of 2020 as being unlawful, irregular and invalid. Consequently, it should be reviewed and set aside.
