Passengers who are picked up or dropped off at undesignated points in and around Harare’s central business district (CBD), as well as in other towns and cities, will now be liable to US$30 fines, while the offending vehicles will be clamped and towed away.
Harare City Council has started recruiting more municipal police officers to enforce this regulation, which has been in place since 2016.
The Government recently directed local authorities to work with law-enforcement agents to enforce by-laws in towns and cities.
Local Government and Public Works’ Communications and Advocacy director Mr Gabriel Masvora said the regulations apply to private vehicles.
“There are by-laws that prohibit the picking up and dropping off of passengers at undesignated points.
“So, the passengers will be arrested by the police, while council will have the right to clamp the vehicle and tow it away,” he said.
“This is also applying to private motorists who drop off passengers at undesignated places.
“Police will determine the fines that the passengers will have to pay.”
