Drivers intending to enrol for the Defensive Driving Course (DDC) can now book online using their digital devices following the launch of an online booking platform by the Traffic Safety Council of Zimbabwe (TSCZ) in Harare on Friday.
The new platform allows motorists to book the course and make payments in both US dollars and local currency, making it easier for drivers to access training aimed at promoting road safety.
Speaking at the launch, TSCZ managing director Mr Munesu Munodawafa said the council was embracing technology to improve convenience and accessibility for Zimbabwean motorists.
“So, the whole idea is to make it easier for Zimbabweans wherever they are who want to access the DDC hence, we partnered with Pay Now, and they came up with a product which we believe will solve the inconvenience that Zimbabweans have been facing,” he said.
The online platform is accessed on the TSCZ website page where one will fill in their personal details, including driver’s licence number. Thereafter. the applicant is requested to confirm their details and save them.
The succeeding page provides payment options in either USD or ZIG, with confirmation of payment coming through the provided mobile contact number.
Ms Fiona Chiwacha, executive accounts manager for online platform Pay Now, which has partnered with the council on the initiative, said every Zimbabwean will have access to pay using a currency of their choice.
“Most people are concerned when it comes to security, but as Pay Now, we would like to acknowledge that your information is safe with us and security is guaranteed,” she said.
