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.

Yeah, I don’t know if requiring license and registration is really a “crackdown”. Probably better to create a class of vehicles that doesn’t require the $500 fee, like light motorcycles or something similar, if it doesn’t exist yet.
The enforcement is new, hence “crackdown”. They could just stop enforcing it for them until the law changes, but they aren’t, they’re enforcing is even harder.
