Good day Crime Watch. Pane police ikubira vanhu along Chiremba Road, just after bridge repaOK Mart. Theyโre causing a traffic jam around that area as shown in the picture below and then fine drivers $30 for encroaching a lane that turns into OK Mart. Zvinoita here? Traffic flows smoothly during the day vasipo kungouya kwavo zvotanga and end up demanding $30. To make matters worse, the road markings are not clearly visible. Zvanyanya svitsai shoko kuvanhu.

How are local businesses supposed to survive?
Police have set up a roadblock just 20 metres from the traffic lights at the corner of Robert Mugabe Road and Rotten Row. They are clamping vehicles and parking them on the pavements, completely blocking access to customer parking. As a result, we are losing customers every day.
If the new traffic cameras are operational, why is manual enforcement still blocking the road and creating chaos? Allegations of bribery are taking place in full view of our shops. This situation needs urgent attention.

WATCH | Yesterday, I travelled from Zvipani to Karoi and passed through three ZRP roadblocks: Magunje Hospital, Jingrison (I may not have the name correct), and Twin River.
At the Jingrison roadblock, I was stopped for almost an hour because I did not have a reflective jacket and a complete breakdown kit. I was told that the fine for these offences was US$30.
However, I noticed several motorists paying US$5 and being allowed to continue their journey without being given a receipt. I also paid US$5, after which my car keys were returned to me, and no receipt was issued. I managed to secretly record a video of what was happening because I felt people needed to see what was taking place at the roadblock.
It is concerning that there were three roadblocks on such a short route. The number of roadblocks seemed excessive and raises questions about their purpose.
Citizens deserve to be treated fairly and served with honesty, professionalism, and integrity. The law should be applied equally to everyone, and all fines should be handled through proper legal procedures with official receipts being issued.

๐ Global oil prices have fallen back to pre-Iran war levels, but Zimbabwean motorists aren't feeling the relief yet. Petrol is still stuck at US$1.98/L, and Diesel is just a cent higher.
Here is the breakdown of what is happening:
๐ฃ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ฐ๐ฒ ๐ฆ๐๐ถ๐ฐ๐ธ๐ถ๐ป๐ฒ๐๐: This is an economic term meaning prices are quick to go up when global costs rise, but slow to come down when global costs drop.
๐ญ๐๐ฅ๐ ๐ฃ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ฐ๐ฒ๐ ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐๐ฎ๐ฝ๐: The Zimbabwe Energy Regulatory Authority (ZERA) sets the maximum price. Service stations are legally allowed to sell fuel for less.
๐ ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ธ๐ฒ๐ ๐๐ฒ๐ต๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ฟ: While some stations along Chiremba Road near Glenara used to discount fuel in the past, no service stations have dropped their prices below the current US$2 mark yet.
Will we see a downward price review soon, or will stations continue to hold out? Let's watch the space.

This is one of the most corrupt service providers. Vehicles are cleared, registered, and issued with number plates, yet owners are later stopped on the road and told that duty was not paid. Such a situation reflects a shocking level of incompetence and mismanagement.
ZIMRA irikuedza kuitasei chaizvo? I have a friend ane hama yake yabatirwa mota yaava ne 15years anayo. Hanzi you were supposed to pay 8k duty but you paid 3.5k so topup 5k apa car is now worth 6k๐คฆโโ๏ธ
Good day I want to name and shame madam vanoshanda ku Central Vehicle Registry (CVR) office number 8. She is the one vanoita ma confirmation from VID. Shuwa munhu kubuda kubasa to do her personal errands na 10 am and up until day end vanga vasati vadzoka. She did not leave any notice even to her colleagues. Vanhu vangoswera vakamira in frustration hoping she would come back. Her colleagues tried calling her but she was not picking up.
Imagine the time and resources that you use by being in town, the parking stress, lunch etc only to be told towards day end kuti munozodzoka mangwana pamwe vanenge varipo.
The least she could have done is to notify her colleagues that she won't be around or even to delegate her roles for the day.

Zimbabwe holds Africa's largest lithium reserves. Yet Chinese companies are now estimated to control nearly 90% of those reserves, raising concerns over how much value the country will ultimately capture from this strategic resource.
VP Chiwengaโs wife, Minnie Baloyi, shared a kind gesture that turned into a memorable birthday celebration.
Minnie said a young woman known as Rue once commented on her earlier post about Nandoโs, mentioning that she had never tasted it before. Minnie responded by asking where Rue was so she could buy her a meal, but at the time Rue was outside Zimbabwe.
A few days later, Rue informed her that she had returned home. True to her word, Minnie arranged to give her $100 USD so she could enjoy Nandoโs for the first time. Interestingly, the timing coincided with Rueโs birthday, making the moment even more special.
Minnie wrote in a light-hearted message:
โHappy birthday Rue, be blessed always. I pray for more Nandoโs for you in future ๐โค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธ๐โ
Rue later shared her excitement after receiving the gift, saying she used the money to buy Nandoโs exactly as promised. She described it as the best birthday gift she had ever received and even went on to do a small photoshoot to capture the moment, joking that her phone was not taking good pictures.
In her post, Rue thanked โmhamha Minnieโ warmly and added: โI got $100 from mhamha Minnie Baloyi as a birthday gift and I bought Nandoโs as she promised. Best birthday gift everโฆ One bite and my taste buds threw a party ๐ฅโ
