Zimbabwe’s e-tricycle crackdown puts rural women’s livelihoods at risk
Zimbabwe’s e-tricycle scheme for rural women is being squeezed by high fees, licensing rules and police enforcement.
In February 2025, the police suddenly started impounding e-tricycles in Hauna and Chipinge, despite having previously allowed the women to operate freely. They demanded registration and driving licences, which cripples women's businesses.
