: Drunk drivers face police armed with breathalyzers

HARARE – Drunk drivers have been put on notice. The government has armed police with a new tool that will leave offenders with nowhere to run and nowhere to hide as the dangerous festive season approaches.

Transport Minister Felix Mhona today handed over evidential breathalyzers to the Zimbabwe Republic Police, warning that the technology will close in on motorists who choose alcohol over safety.

“In addition to the commission of vehicles and brake roller testers, this event is crucial as we shall also hand over evidential breathalyzers to the Zimbabwe Republic Police,” Minister Mhona said. “The breathalyzers were procured by the Traffic Safety Council of Zimbabwe for use by ZRP.”

He said the devices arrive at a decisive moment.
“The generous donation of breathalyzers by the Traffic Safety Council of Zimbabwe represents a critical intervention in our mission to reduce road carnage,” he said. “The equipment will dramatically enhance the operational capacity of our police service.”

The warning comes as Zimbabwe recorded 2,936 crashes during the last festive season, including 133 fatal accidents that claimed 155 lives. Human error, including drunk driving, causes 94 percent of all road crashes.

With breathalyzers now deployed, police will be stopping vehicles, testing drivers, and removing offenders from the road instantly.

For motorists tempted to drink and drive, the message is cold and direct: police now have the tools, the season is coming, and if you drink and drive, they will catch you.

: Commissioning of Maringambizi community borehole

A solar-powered borehole was commissioned yesterday at Maringambizi Secondary School in Zvishane, Midlands Province, donated by Sandawana Mines, a subsidiary of mining giant Kuvimba, in partnership with Riridge Investments Limited. The borehole came at a critical period when learners want to embrace the 5.0 learning model through practical lessons in agriculture, which has been a challenge without access to potable water. This initiative is also aimed at alleviating the community's struggle with water shortages, which has burdened the community for decades.

President appoints new Commander Defense Forces as Valerio Sibanda eyes Zanu PF top post

President Emmerson Mnangagwa has appointed Lieutenant General Emmanuel Matatu as the new Commander of the Zimbabwe Defence Forces (ZDF) and Major General Asher Walter Tapfumaneyi as Commander of the Zimbabwe National Army (ZNA), following the retirement of long-serving ZDF chief General Philip Valerio Sibanda.

The appointments were announced Tuesday through separate statements issued by Chief Secretary to the President and Cabinet, Martin Rushwaya, who said the changes were made in terms of Section 216(2) of the Constitution of Zimbabwe.

Matatu, 72, a former ZIPRA liberation fighter, has been promoted to the rank of General and will assume command of the Defense Forces on 21 November.

Tapfumaneyi, who has been elevated to Lieutenant General, will take charge of the National Army on 25 November.

The new appointments take immediate effect in preparation for the upcoming handover of command structures later this month.

Sibanda was appointed a Zanu PF Politburo member a few years ago before President Mnangagwa withdrew his appointment as he was still a serving military man.

The latest development has reignited speculation that Sibanda will soon find his way into the Zanu-PF hierarchy
