Police in Mashonaland East Province have impounded 346 vehicles in a blitz code-named “No to Mushikashika” launched on November 4, 2021.
179 of these vehicles were impounded in Marondera urban alone.
When The Herald visited Marondera Central police station today in the morning, the station yard was filled with the Toyota Wish and Honda Fit vehicles, which are commonly used for mushikashika services.
Police deputy spokesperson for Mashonaland East Province Assistant Inspector Misheck Denhere said police in the province will not fold their hands and watch while Mushikashika operators operate illegally.
“Police will not stand akimbo and watch Mushikashika operators violate traffic rules. The same Mushikashika are picking and dropping passengers at undesignated places thereby posing a danger to other motorists and commuters.
“In some instances, they are used as getaway cars in criminal cases and they are also being used to rob commuters of their valuables.”
