The Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) has condemned rogue voluntary pothole fixers and traffic lights(robots) beggars as the latter are disturbing the flow of traffic.
In a press statement, ZRP assistant commissioner Paul Nyathi said the institution has noted woth concern the dangerous and illegal acts being conducted by certain individuals 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”, Nyathi said.
“In the process, the flow of traffic is disturbed, while the lives of these individuals are at risk”, Nyathi added.
“Some are even leaving heaps of soil and bricks on the roads while others remove the purported bricks and soil structure once payment has been received as they solicit for more payments or contributions from motorists” explained Nyathi.
“The ZRP also cautions individuals who are moving with some wheelchairs and children and then wait at traffic lights(robots) to seek for donations or assistance from the public”, Nyathi said. This is again interfering with traffic movements and endangering the lives of the individuals.
The ZRP implores the public to be safety conscious on the roads and avoid disturbing the flow of traffic besides putting their lives at risk.
