Controversial Harare-based preacher Talent Madungwe has pleaded guilty to charges of negligent driving and driving without a driver’s licence.
As reported by <a href="https://www.hmetro.co.zw/i-dont-have-a-drivers-licence-says-madungwe/">H-Metro</a>, the self-proclaimed prophet appeared before Epworth magistrate Tafadzwa Miti, who postponed the case until Monday for a pre-sentence hearing and sentencing.
The complainant in this case is Rutendo Kwinjo.
Rutendo Nyamutswa, representing the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA), alleged that on August 6, 2024, around 10 AM, Madungwe left his home on Airport Road and turned right onto the main road.
On that day, he was driving without a license.
He allegedly sideswiped Kwinjo, who was driving a Nissan NP300 single cab with registration number ACG 8313, as both were travelling towards Harare CBD. Kwinjo’s vehicle sustained minor damage.
Madungwe initially appeared in Epworth Magistrate’s Court on Wednesday and was remanded out of custody to Thursday after Nyamutswa indicated that the State intended to amend the papers before he could be properly placed before the court.
Madungwe was among those who benefited from Wicknell Chivayo’s donations of Toyota Aquas. It remains unclear whether he had obtained a driver’s license at the time he received the vehicle.

Controversial preacher Talent Madungwe admitted to driving without a license and causing an accident in Harare. He appeared in court and the case was postponed. He hit another car while driving and caused minor damage. It is unclear if he had a license when he received the car as a donation. Madungwe was remanded out of custody and will be sentenced soon. He pleaded guilty to the charges of negligent driving. The prosecutor is Rutendo Nyamutswa. The incident happened in 2024. It will be decided on Monday what his punishment will be.

Madungwe Admits To Driving Without A Licence

The Ministry of Transport and Infrastructural Development has announced its official position on the conversion of the Zimbabwe driver’s licence in the United Kingdom.
In a statement, the Ministry said drivers intending to downgrade from class 2 to class 4 should approach the Central Vehicle Registry (CVR) offices for assistance before visiting VID. Reads the statement:
<blockquote>
The Ministry of Transport and Infrastructural Development through the Central Vehicle Registry in conjunction with the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) of the United Kingdom is advising the public of the new policy position about the exchange of the Zimbabwe driver’s licence in the United Kingdom whereby DVLA will only entertain the exchange of class 4 driver’s licence for those competently tested for driving the light motor vehicles and class 2 for those driving trucks.
Holders of class 2 drivers intending to drive light motor vehicles must either come back to Zimbabwe and downgrade or obtain their class 4 in the United Kingdom.
Those intending to downgrade from class 2 to class 4 are required to approach the Central Vehicle Registry (CVR) offices for assistance before visiting the Vehicle Inspectorate Department (VID).
Holders of both classes 2 and 4 obtained on different test dates will not be affected. The CVR is encouraging those affected to bring their driver’s licence and be guided accordingly.

Ministry Of Transport Speaks On Conversion Of Zimbabwe Driver's Licence In UK

Statement by the Secretary for Transport and Infrastructural Development, Theodius Chinyanga, in response to queries pertaining conversion of the Zimbabwe driver’s licence to the British driver’s licence:
<blockquote>
The Ministry of Transport and Infrastructural Development has noted with concern that there are several messages circulating on social media with regards to challenges faced on conversion of Zimbabwean drivers’ licences to British drivers’ licences.
This article attempts to answer some of the questions that Zimbabwean drivers are faced with.
1. Is the British Government still recognising the Zimbabwean driver’s licence?
Yes, they do, but there are unconfirmed reports that some Zimbabweans have been using fake metal driver’s licences and sadly end up being involved or causing road traffic accidents. This has led to the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) in the United Kingdom (UK) to demand Certificates of Competency upon request for conversion of the Zimbabwean Licence to a British Licence.
2. I have lost my certificate of competency and it’s a requirement on conversion of a licence, can I get a duplicate certificate?
The current system does not have a provision for a duplicate Certificate of Competency considering that at law it is only valid for thirty (30) days. However, the Ministry is in the process of engaging DVLA so that they do not request for a Certificate of Competency upon request for a conversion of a driver’s licence.
3. I have passed class two driver’s licence and was awarded class 2, 4 and 5. DVLA is refusing to convert my licence to allow me to drive classes 4 and 5 only. They want me to drive class two only. Is it possible for one to downgrade?
Most drivers who were tested for class 2, did not go through parallel parking and three-point turn tests. DVLA has concerns that they have inadequate skills. The Ministry has made a provision that members be tested for class four so that they are certified competent for the required skills in the relevant class.
4. I submitted an application request for a conversion of my licence to DVLA and was initially rejected on the basis that I should attach a Certificate of Competency. Is it ok if I get a similar one not from VID because I lost the original?
It is not allowed to present fake Certificate of Competency to DVLA or any licencing authority. Applicants risk losing their valid drivers’ licences. Drivers are requested to follow correct channels of having their licences converted without engaging in any illicit behaviour.
5. DVLA is failing to contact CVR. How can we be assisted if we want our licences verified?
CVR is in touch with DVLA on a daily basis. The current emails to contact CVR are registrarcvr@gmail.com, ddcvr1@gmail.com and ddcvr2@gmail.com. Alternatively, concerned citizens are free to approach their respective embassies for assistance.

Transport Ministry Statement On Conversion Of Zimbabwe Driver’s Licence To British Driver's Licence | Full Text

The United Kingdom (UK) is refusing to recognise metal driver’s licences for Zimbabweans living in that country.
This comes after the Zimbabwean Government recently launched plastic driver’s licences to replace metal discs.
The new licence has 13 categories which conform to the requirement of the United Nations Convention on Road Traffic International Organisation for Standardisation and International Electro-Technical Commission.
<a href="https://www.newsday.co.zw/local-news/article/200013242/uk-spurns-zim-metal-drivers-licences">NewsDay</a> has established that Zimbabweans living in the UK are failing to get their metal licences converted for use in that country.
The UK’s Driver’s Vehicle Licensing Authority (DVLA) is refusing to convert the licences saying the old metal licences no longer meet the criteria set by the Central Vehicle Registry (CVR) in Zimbabwe.
Zimbabweans are now required to obtain an original “Certificate of Competency” to have their licences converted for use in the UK.
A certificate of competency is a temporary licence valid for 30 days which is issued to drivers who have passed the practical test at the Vehicle Inspectorate Department (VID).
A Zimbabwean living in the UK told NewsDay that the development has affected a lot of care workers. Said the Zimbabwean national:
<blockquote>
Affected are a lot of care workers who have to drive from client to client to provide their services.
Also affected are Zimbabwean drivers in the UK who had been using their licences temporarily before converting.
</blockquote>
Responding in an email to Zimbabweans who had sought the embassy’s assistance, the consular officer for Ambassador Tendai Chimbandi said:
<blockquote>
The embassy has been consulting with DVLA and they have specified that for purposes of converting a licence they will only accept the Certificate of Competency (Blue paper issued by CVR to a person who has completed their driving test in Zimbabwe) and without it, they are not prepared to convert.
Regrettably, most people discard this document upon issuance of the metal disc.
Without the Certificate of Competency, UK DVLA has insisted that to drive in the UK, an applicant will have to complete the practical and theory tests.
</blockquote>
The Government says the plastic licence enables Zimbabweans to drive in Angola, Botswana, Burundi, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Djibouti, Egypt, Eritrea, Eswatini, Ethiopia, Kenya, Lesotho, Libya, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, Rwanda, Somalia, South Africa, South Sudan, Sudan, Tanzania, Tunisia, Uganda and Zambia, without conversion.

EXPLAINER: Transport Ministry Responds To Questions On Plastic Driver's Licence

The Ministry of Transport and Infrastructural Development says it will soon launch a new National Driving Licence System which will among other things, change the present five numerical Classes to the new thirteen alphanumerical categories.
Addressing journalists in Harare Wednesday, Transport and Infrastructural Development Minister, Felix Mhona said 13 categories of the new driving licence will conform to the requirements of the United Nations Convention on Road Traffic; International Organization for Standardization and International Electrotechnical Commission. He added:
<blockquote>
The 13 categories of the new Driving licence will, amongst others, make provision for the combination categories of a vehicle and trailer.
The new categories will also accommodate the different sizes of vehicles and prevent the current scenario where drivers are tested on a small vehicle and then be authorised to drive a very large vehicle which the driver may not be able to control in a safe manner.
</blockquote>
The transitional arrangement from the Present Numerical Classes to the New Alphanumerical Categories is as follows:
Class 1 will be known as “DE” – Articulated passenger vehicle for the carriage of persons having more than 16 seats, and may be combined with a trailer not exceeding 750kg GVM
Class 2 will be known as “CE” – Articulated goods vehicle exceeding 7 500kg GVM may be combined with a trailer not exceeding 750kg
Class 3 will be known as “A” – Light motorcycles and medium motorcycles with power not exceeding 35KW, with or without a sidecar.
Class 4 will be known as “BE” – Light articulated vehicle with a GVM not exceeding 3500kg and not having more than 8 seats may be combined with a trailer not exceeding 750kg.
Class 5 will be known as “BE*” – Previously class 5 was only for Agricultural or Industrial tractors or any other suitable vehicles/machinery.
After the transitional phase, the following Professional Driver Permit Categories will come into effect:
<blockquote>
Code G for Goods vehicles with a Gross Vehicle Mass exceeding 3 500kg. The applicable minimum age for this category is 18 years;
Code P for Passenger vehicles with a seating capacity of more than 8. The applicable minimum age for this category is 25 years; and
Code D for Dangerous Goods vehicles for the transportation of Hazardous and Dangerous Goods. The applicable minimum age for this category is 25 years.
</blockquote>
After the transitional phase, the full spectrum of the following codes will apply:
<blockquote>
Codes A (18 years), B1 (18 years) and A1 (16 years) motorcycle/motor powered tri-/quadricycle/light motorcycle;
Codes B (16 years), BE (18 years) light motor vehicle&lt;3 500kg having not more than 8 seats /may draw a light trailer not exceeding 750kg GVM.
Codes C (21 years) and CE (21 years) &gt;7 500kg GVM, Codes C1 (18 years) and C1E (21 years) &gt;3 500kg GVM but not exceeding 7 500kg GVM/ with trailer not exceeding 750 kg.
Codes D1 (25 years) and D1E (25 years) omnibus &gt;8 seats but not more than 16 seats/with trailer not exceeding 750kg.
Codes D (25 years) and DE (24 years) omnibus &gt; 16 seats/ may be combined with a trailer.
</blockquote>
Minister Mhona added that the upcoming new Driver’s Licence is fully compliant with the standard specifications of the Southern African Development Community (SADC),  Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA) and East African Community (EAC).

Zimbabwe To Transition From 5 Numerical Drivers' Licence Classes To 13 Codes

The Traffic Safety Council of Zimbabwe (TSCZ) says it has started the inspection of driving schools across the country, starting with those in Harare, to ensure that they comply with set standards.
The inspection covers all requirements for registration which include NSSA registration, ZIMRA registration, learner’s liability insurance, general insurance, and availability of suitable offices.
There are about 700 driving schools registered with the TSCZ, with around half operating in Harare.
Speaking to <a href="https://www.herald.co.zw/bad-news-for-errant-driving-schools/">The Herald</a> on Friday, TSCZ managing director Munesu Munodawafa said they will not hesitate to withdraw licences from driving schools that are non-compliant. He said:
<blockquote>
The Traffic Safety Council of Zimbabwe has embarked on a blitz of inspecting driving school standards across Zimbabwe.
The exercise started in Harare on Monday and will cascade to other cities.
The blitz seeks to ensure compliance, as well as make sure that student drivers are well-trained and are not prejudiced by bogus and non-compliant driving schools.
This is part of our broader efforts to improve road safety on our roads. As we undertake the exercise, depending on the degree and nature of non-compliance, we are giving non-compliant driving schools limited timeframes in which to comply.
But, where we believe the level of non-compliance so warrants, we will not hesitate to withdraw operating certificates and deregister those that have serious deficiencies.
</blockquote>
Munodawafa said that after the exercise, they were going to submit a list of driving schools that are in compliance with the set-out regulations to the Vehicle Inspection Department (VID). He added:
<blockquote>
We believe what we are witnessing on our roads with regard to drivers disregarding traffic laws could be a reflection of laxity in the driver training programme itself.
We will therefore leave no stone unturned in our efforts to ensure total compliance with our registration requirements.
In view of the foregoing, this statement is issued to encourage driving schools throughout Zimbabwe to fully comply with their registration obligations.
We also wish to point out that while this is an initial phase, the exercise will be sustained and inspections will be carried out randomly at least quarterly.
For the avoidance of doubt, those driving schools that repeatedly fall short of requirements may not be allowed to renew their certificates of operation.
</blockquote>

Traffic Safety Council Probes Driving Schools

Zimbabwe is set to introduce plastic driver’s licence disks early this year, a government official has revealed.
Transport and Infrastructural Development Permanent Secretary Engineer Theodius Chinyanga recently told State media that the government has submitted designs of the proposed plastic driver’s licence to the Southern African Development Community (SADC) for approval.
Chinyanga also said the procurement of consumables such as the ribbon, ink and foil required to produce the plastic licence disks is underway. Said Chinyanga:
<blockquote>
In compliance with the International Organisation for Standardisation and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 18013 standards on driver’s licences, the ministry applied for the Issuer Identification Number, which uniquely identifies CVR as the issuing authority in Zimbabwe, across all ISO member states.
The IIN was issued in November 2022.
The ministry has since encoded the IIN on the card design and submitted it to SADC, who are currently reviewing it.
While awaiting feedback from SADC, the ministry has initiated the procurement process for the related materials such as ribbon, ink and foil.
The printers will be procured once final approval is received from SADC so as to avoid compatibility issues.
</blockquote>
Plastic driver’s licences, also known as plastic polymer licences, are already in use in several SADC countries, including South Africa.
Like polythene-synthetic identity cards introduced a few years ago to replace the metal ones, the new plastic licences will be printed instantly. | <a href="https://www.sundaymail.co.zw/323366-2">The Sunday Mail</a>

Zimbabwe To Introduce Plastic Driver’s Licence Discs

Transport and Infrastructural Development Minister Felix Mhona says sanctions imposed on Zimbabwe by the United States of America and other factors are to blame for the huge backlog of metal driver’s licence discs.
Speaking in an interview with NewsDay, Mhona said the government is failing to procure raw materials for the production of metal driver’s licence discs resulting in the Central Vehicle Registry (CVR) struggling to clear the backlog. He said:
<blockquote>
CVR has made positive steps in clearing the backlog on driver’s licence discs. However, the pace is not as fast as we would want because of several challenges, some of which are beyond the scope of CVR in particular, and the ministry in general.
For a better context, the raw materials used in the manufacture of licence discs are imported, and because of sanctions, it has been hard to procure them from traditional suppliers in the USA [United States of America].
We import the special alumni photo plates, the film, developer and gold dye and seal materials. It has been difficult to get supplies in stock.
</blockquote>
He said the other factor that has led to the backlog is that more and more people are taking driver’s licences. Said Mhona:
<blockquote>
More and more people are taking driver’s licences as cars are also increasing on the roads.
The number of cars we have on our roads has increased drastically, especially with the advent of ex-Japan vehicles.
As it stands, there is only one plant or machine to make the licences in Zimbabwe and it has to absorb all applicants.
</blockquote>
Mhona also attributed the shortage of discs to obsolete machinery used in the production process. He said:
<blockquote>
Most of the work from VID to CVR remains manual and this takes time. As it stands, there is only one plant or machine to make the licence discs in Zimbabwe and it has to absorb all applicants.
The production line also uses a special type of typewriter, for example, Olivetti and Brothers, which have unique characters and letters that help to weed out counterfeits.
Working space has been greatly compromised due to huge volumes from VID and police driving schools which test thousands daily and all these applicants are forwarded to CVR.
</blockquote>
Mhona said the greatest solution to the backlog is the automation of the whole process. | <a href="https://www.newsday.co.zw/local-news/article/200005535/drivers-licence-disc-shortage-mhona-blames-sanctions">NewsDay</a>

</blockquote>

Govt Hikes Driver's Licence Fees

In an interview with The Chronicle yesterday, Deputy Minister of Transport and Infrastructural Development, Fortune Chasi, said aspiring drivers will soon write provisional driver’s licence tests online.
Chasi said all is set for the Vehicle Inspection Department (VID) to switch over to electronic testing for learners’ licences. He said they plan to have the new system in place before the Zimbabwe International Trade Fair kicks off next month.
