Kabaza sanity crackdown stirs protests

Protests yesterday marred a joint police and Malawi Coalition of Kabaza Associations (Macokasa) operation to enforce sanity among motorcycle taxi (kabaza) operators in urban areas as riders briefly blocked roads in Limbe, Blantyre.

During their protest yesterday, the kabaza operators blocked the road at Midima Roundabout and in the process disrupted traffic on the exit routes from Limbe to Thyolo, Chiradzulu and Mulanje districts as well as Bangwe and Chigumula residential areas within Blantyre city.
