The moment you think of going to where the grass is greener, care to ask the one who keeps the grass green what he has to forego so that the grass stays green.

Hi, I would like to know the purpose of buying temporary number plates for a vehicle before leaving the port of entry. The reason I am asking is because the ZRP officers told me that these temporary number plates are not recognised, yet we are required to buy them and they are issued with a validity period of 14 days.

I imported a vehicle from Japan and, after completing all the necessary paperwork at Kariba Border Post, I was instructed to buy temporary number plates for the vehicle. I complied and purchased the temporary number plates, which were valid for 14 days.

I drove to Harare that same evening and arrived home at around 3:00 a.m. The following morning, while on my way to VTS to have my vehicle cleared and obtain a Certificate of Location, which had not been completed at the border post, I was stopped by a police officer.

This happened on Tuesday, 9 June 2026, at approximately 8:10 a.m. along Simon Mazorodze Avenue, just after Chicken Slice, near what I believe is Birmingham Road. The officer who stopped me impounded my vehicle, stating that it had no number plates. I explained that I had temporary number plates that had been issued at Kariba Border Post the previous day and were still valid. I showed him the temporary number plates, but he said they were of no use and refused to accept my explanation.

I was escorted to Mbare Police Station, where my vehicle was impounded. I asked to see the Officer-in-Charge of Traffic, but she was not available. I was then attended to by the Assistant Officer-in-Charge, who listened to my explanation, examined my documents, and instructed that my vehicle be released. He was very understanding and appeared satisfied that my documents were in order.

However, while I was waiting for the paperwork to be completed, the Officer-in-Charge arrived. She asked why I was waiting at the charge office, and I explained what had happened. She immediately stated that my vehicle had to remain impounded. I showed her my documents, but she refused to listen and called the Assistant Officer-in-Charge who had authorised my release, instructing him that the vehicle should remain impounded.

After further discussion, she informed me that I had to pay a fine for failure to register the vehicle. Having no other option, I paid the USD 30 fine.

My concern is that I was fined for failure to register my vehicle despite being in possession of valid temporary number plates that had been issued less than 24 hours earlier and still had 13 days remaining before expiry.

I would therefore like an explanation of the purpose of temporary number plates. If they are issued and valid for 14 days, why are motorists required to purchase them if ZRP officers do not recognise them? If the temporary number plates are legally valid, why was my vehicle impounded and why was I fined for failure to register the vehicle while displaying those valid temporary plates?
