Zimbabwe Republic Police Assistant Commissioner Paul Nyathi has cautioned individuals and groups purporting to be conducting road repairs with heaps of bricks and soil in the county.
In a statement Nyathi highlighted that these acts endanger the safety of individuals and these acts are also disturbs the flow of traffic.
The statement reads, “The Zimbabwe Republic Police has noted with concern the dangerous and illegal acts being conducted by certain individual and groups on the roads around suburbs and towns in the country. The individuals and groups purport to be conducting road repairs through heaps of bricks and soil.
“In the process, the flow of traffic is disturbed while the lives of these individuals are at risk. Some are even leaving heaps of soil and bricks on the roads while others remove the purported bricks and soil structures once payment has been received as they solicit for more payment’s contributions from motorists.
He also went on to advise the public that they must report such illegal acts.
“The public is urged to report these individuals and groups to the Police as their activities are interfering with road safety principles.
Nyathi further urged the public to be always alert on the roads and avoid disturbing traffic flow.
“The Police also cautions individuals who are moving with some wheel chairs and children and then wait at traffic lights (robots) to seek for donations or assistance from the public. This is again interfering with traffic movements and endangering lives of the individuals.
The ZRP implores the public to be safety conscious on the roads and avoids disturbing the flow of traffic besides putting their lives on risk.” said Nyathi.
