POLICE, working with stakeholders in Bulawayo, have urged residents to usher in the New Year responsibly, warning that reckless behaviour, unlawful festivities and road indiscipline will not be tolerated as security operations are intensified across the city.
Bulawayo provincial police spokesperson Inspector Nomalanga Msebele cautioned against dangerous activities commonly associated with New Year’s Eve celebrations, particularly using vehicles for illegal spinning, drifting and skidding on public roads.
“As we approach the 31st of December 2025, a day often marked by spinning, drifting and skidding in undesignated areas, we urge the public to exercise caution as these activities can lead to serious accidents and loss of life,” she said.
Insp Msebele said although spinning has been recognised as a sport by the Sports and Recreation Commission, it must only be conducted at designated venues.
“The motoring public is urged to refrain from spinning or skidding in the central business district. Participation must be confined to designated areas,” she said.
Wara wara, nyara nyara, so goes the usual police talk. Empty threats define ZRP.
