Africa-Press<\/a> – Zimbabwe<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>The government has said commuter omnibuses (Kombis) that are plying rural routes are allowed on the roads even without any registration with the Zimbabwe United Passenger Company (ZUPCO).<\/p>\n

The move comes amid pressure from private buses and kombis operators to allow their vehicles back on the road.<\/p>\n

Private owned kombis and buses were barred off the road last year as a way to curb the transmission of the novel coronavirus and the government is determined to block kombis off the road for some time.<\/p>\n

Speaking during last Wednesday\u2019s National Assembly\u2019s Question and Answer session in Parliament, Local Government and Public Works Minister, July Moyo, said:<\/p>\n

_Commuter omnibuses and buses which go to rural areas do not need to go to CMED or register with Zupco. If the Ministry gives them a licence to operate, that is what they use and nothing was disturbed._<\/b><\/p>\n

_However, because in urban areas most of the places are tarred, this is where the mushika-shika or illegal operators flood creating chaos._<\/b><\/p>\n

Minister Moyo said the government is buying more Zupco buses with the intention of reaching out to all areas in the country.<\/p>\n
