Dismissing information that has been circulating lately on
social media alleging the process had been suspended due to the lockdown,
Zinara spokesperson Mr Tendai Mugabe said: “We do not have the powers to
suspend vehicle licensing. The process will go on as usual.”
He urged motorists to utilise the online platforms to
register their vehicles to avoid physical contact.
“We are however encouraging motorists to utilise online
vehicle registration platforms to reduce the number of people that visit
registration offices to protect both the motorists and the workers from the
global pandemic.”
The development comes at a time when most motorists seek to
renew their vehicle licences as most of them would have expired at the end of
the year.
The Government recently suspended face-to-face meetings in
the public service to ensure safety of its employees and trimmed its workforce
to 30 percent as the ongoing fight against the Covid-19 pandemic intensifies.
The lockdown was announced by Vice President Constantino
Chiwenga who is also Minister of Health and Child Care on Saturday with Acting
President Kembo Mohadi giving policy direction on the implementation of the
lockdown on Sunday. Chronicle
