Government to Introduce Breathalysers at Police Roadblocks to Curb Drink-Driving

The Ministry of Transport and Infrastructural Development is set to introduce breathalysers at all police roadblocks as part of efforts to curb drink-driving and reduce road accidents.

The initiative, spearheaded by Honourable Felix Mhona, the Minister of Transport and Infrastructural Development, involves collaboration with the Traffic Safety Council of Zimbabwe and the Ministry of Home Affairs to deploy breathalysers and cameras at roadblocks.

The measure aims to tackle road accidents caused by driving under the influence of alcohol while enhancing public road safety, particularly during the festive season.

This move aligns with the government’s commitment to safeguarding citizens and ensuring a festive period marked by reduced crime and safer roads.
