Running battles have eruptedin Nketa,Nkulumane, Sizinda and eMganwini townships between armed Zimbabwe Republic Police and scores  of kombi drivers and touts.

Kombi crews are not operatingin a development that has affected resident's movements.Several people where late to work today. Private operators have also joined in the strike.Traffic cops are accused of fleecing the operators as they are demanding 'fines' as high as $20 and to add on drivers are not told their offences.

BUPTA's secretary general, Albert Ncube confirmed that the strike was on-going and at an interview at At Nketa 6 Garage, a driver named  Mbuso Malinga said they were now tired of 'working for the police'.

"It's now too much. We are now slaves of the police and it's now a crime to be in business. To strike is the only way to voice our anger," he said.
