A GWANDA police officer will soon appear in court to face charges of driving without a licence and due care after running over a pedestrian.
Constable Wilson Mtanzwa ran over Martin Dube's left foot while driving a green Mazda van, resulting in him sustaining two serious fractures.
Matabeleland South provincial police spokesperson, Assistant Inspector Christopher Ngwenya confirmed the incident and said a docket was already with the courts.
Matabeleland South provincial magistrate Douglas Vakayi Chikwekwe last week lamented the increase in the number of unlicensed drivers while passing sentence on a motor mechanic accused of driving without a licence.
Some accidents in the province have been caused by unlicensed drivers who face fines of up to $300 or six months in prison if convicted.
