Zinara U-turn: Arrests stopped

“We will start arresting people as they had requested and our position hasn’t changed. They requested and we acceded to that,” Snr Asst Comm Bvudzijena said.
He, however, said those who were fined will not be refunded.

“An offence is an offence and the law provides that one should have a valid licence disc but because of the hiccups, we are trying to create an understanding between the motorists and the police. As for those arrested, there is no recourse,” he said.

He said people were given a grace period before the actual enforcement and that had been the practice.
“They (Zinara) started issuing licences late and we hope in future we won’t have such hiccups.”

On Tuesday, Zinara scrapped the June 30 vehicle licensing deadline extension hardly a week after granting the respite. They said motorists who failed to display the new licence discs would be fined starting on Wednesday.
