The Zimbabwe National Road Administration has embarked on a blitz to ensure the 170 000 unregistered vehicles that are in the institution’s database are compliant.
In an interview yesterday, Zinara chief executive Mr Frank Chitukutuku said the blitz was meant to ensure that all vehicles complied with the law.
He said owners of unlicensed vehicles had the tendency of driving around in the mornings and evenings.
“I can confirm that a lot of vehicles are still unlicensed and now we are able to tell through our system which vehicles are unlicensed. Therefore these vehicles will not be allowed to move on the roads or pass through tollgates as they will be impounded.
“The blitz is actually coming to every city and town and all vehicles have to be compliant with the laws of the land, the Vehicle Registration and Licensing Act in particular, which requires all vehicles to always bear a valid vehicle licence at all times. According to our database, there are over 170 000 vehicles that are in arrears.
“Some had licences once and never came back for several years now. We know they are there somewhere and are moving on our roads. We seek to ensure that they comply. This will in turn ensure that we raise enough money for the maintenance of our road network,” said Mr Chitukutuku.
He said the blitz would continue until there was sanity on the roads.
