Night Transport Curfew Mulled
Zimbabwean authorities are considering a night travel curfew for public transport operators to curb road accidents and crime, as reported by the Daily News. The proposal has drawn sharp criticism from transport unions who warn it will cripple livelihoods and informal trade. The government's push for tighter mobility controls exposes a deeper vulnerability: the state's inability to enforce road safety without punishing the poor. This policy debate highlights the ongoing tension between public safety measures and economic survival in Zimbabwe's informal sector.
