At 7:45 you said it so well when you said that driving in the UK is very challenging. Personally, I find it shocking that the UK government allows anyone who has a foreign licence to drive on the roads on day one when they arrive without any form of vetting. At a minimum they should require everyone to study and pass the Theory Test before they can drive. At least they would know the driving rules and how to keep everyone safe on the roads. Also, it could lower the cost of insurance if people have actually taken the Theory Test to gain the knowledge. For me safety is paramount and I worry a great deal when people are driving and yet they don't even know how to use a roundabout. Some people have never ever seen a zebra crossing which puts pedestrians in grave danger. Someone mentioned that in Canada you have to take their own test before you can drive there and I think they've got it right! I understand that some people's jobs depend on them being able to drive, but still, safety should come first.
I agree with you,Zimbabweans should re-do licence, I ve been driving in south Africa, but I struggled here with roundabout..UK you have to becareful..understanding their rules its key..I had tickets upon tickets..let's do it right guys
@@irenekhumalo8864 Thanks for that comment. To put it into perspective, I trained to drive in London and passed my driving test in London about 20 years ago. But even today as a veteran I still find it challenging to drive in England. The only good thing I have on my side is knowing the rules of the Highway Code.
The requirement to pass the theory test at least should be a must. It is really quick and easy to do (preparation and completion), and it is the language of the road.
Excellent Presentation young man. Thanks. Zimbabwe is something else. The level of incompetence by the Zimbabwean Government snd all Institutions is unbelievable and shocking. All they are interested in is retaining power but they can’t rule and driving posh cars at the expense of the taxpayers. Please keep up the good work. UK is quite right banning Zimbabwe License Holders. No unnecessary accidents are needed in UK.
As a young driver in United Kingdom and having been a driver of class B in Botswana, l won't risk Uk citizens buy allowing someone to drive in United Kingdom before attending class from Uk driving school. The roads are completely different Zimbabwe pple must learn to avoid short cuts for safety reasons.thank you.They have to spend for the safety of the population
Misleading title and misleading narrative. For the record, Zimbabwe and South Africa are the only 2 African countries that can convert their licences in the UK. There is no ban on Zim licences in the UK. What has happened is simply more scrutiny of these licences because of a proliferation of fake licences being submitted as well as unqualified drivers who bribed VID inspectors to obtain licences without mastering driving. The third aspect as you rightly pointed out, is the practice of obtaining Class 2 driving licences as a way of avoiding the more demanding Class 4 liecence. These are the people who have been involved in serious traffic offences in the UK as they lack the requisite skill to drive on busy motorways and even on ordinary roads. They cant even parallel park. DVLA is doing what any responsible authority would do under the circumstances. The blame lies squarely with errant Zimbabweans engaging in fraudulent activities and thus tarnishing the image of Zimbabweans. Its not a government problem. To try to spin this as some political issue is simply disingenuous. Inspite of the political differences, Zimbabwe still remains one of the only 2 countries from the whole of Africa to be able to convert their licences in the UK.
Okay! Let’s go into your write up! 1st Is the class 2 allowed for the use of small vehicles ? If you say Yes I will take you through the process of obtaining an equivalent license in the UK! You have to undergo the tests, which in essence is just like obtaining a whole new license, so basically, whether you have a class 2 or not, the cost can reach £3000 to get a truck driving job! Besides that most people going to the UK are not seeking truck driving jobs but basic licenses, making this a total ban! Secondly I implore you to give a call to DVLA and ask them why they’re no longer giving UK licenses back and you will be told 2 things 1. Your government is not giving us any information about the ZW licenses, we cannot do anything about it except to only grant you a year of driving in the UK! If you’re found with the bad quality license, they have to verify with the authorities that they have termed uncooperative in the first place! What does this translate to? If you’re using semantics, then it’s a matter of semantics, they’ll not tell you that they have banned but in fact they have ! On the ground! On the political side, indeed if our country had sober political leaders, we wouldn’t be the only African country suffering from this problem! Do you know how many people rely on these licenses ? Then you say it’s disingenuous to point it to the leaders ?
You must be ZANU PF or you don’t have a clue what’s happening in the U.K. I have a relative who just got his license rejected by DVLA, they told him it’s not easy to verify then he needs to start afresh on a U.K. driving license. Everything Zimbabwean is now fake and not trustworthy. It’s not the Zimbabwe you knew.
With this requirement from the DVLA its so funny that most drivers who still have their letter of competency are the drivers who just recently passed their driving tests whilst us who acquired the drivers licences as back as 2009 class 4 are stuck rejected by DVLA
blood I'm in the UK and I wonder if you been told about this or its your life experience because there is shortage of drivers here so if you are allowed to work, you can do any job except being a soldier maybe because of commonwealth issues
Simpleeeeee!!!! People just go study for theory and get a driving school do 1-2 lessons then your road test. If one indeed is a competent driver you pass. If not do as many lessons as is needed. We are tired of crying over accidents and deaths caused by incompetent drivers. People please have a conscience, a car with an incompetent driver is a dangerous situation.
Say that again. If they are competent drivers they should pass UK theory and practical test on first attempt without spending much money on lessons. Besides there is nothing as good as learning to really drive safely and get a genuine driving licence not coming here to kill people with fake driving licence.
Honestly, the money we send to Zimbabwe or Kenya from UK is more than the money earned by any organizations or Companies, i think this is the money which keep the country going. however the Zimbabwen are not taking in the roads, they are too fast.
Strange! Class 2 and Class 1, were the most difficult Tests to pass in Rhodesia. Wonder what has changed to make it easy in Zimbabwe. 30 Ton Lorry 🚛 easy to drive. Omg 😳! I am not surprised, DVLA is right. They must never let up. We don’t want unnecessary funerals.
Honestly the Zimbabwean driver's licence is the worst I have ever seen. Where my sister showed me hers I was shocked. I thought she was joking it's a driver's the real thing. I would advise anyone who wants to drive in uk to do a few lessons before they embark on driving independently

Zimbabweans are really really really really really really suffering 😢😢😢. It's sad especially knowing that you have that amount of minerals in our beloved country 😢. Kusvika riiniko tichitambura kudai😢😢💔😭
We will continue to suffer so much unless we take action. For the majority time on Earth is not on their side to see the democratic Zimbabwe. Being in a foreign land is not that easy. We are definitely cowards Zimbabweans except for the ndebele people. They have guts but no support from shona people. They are like South Africans who do not take nonsense. Act for a change.
And people who obtained licences long ago and happened to accidentally loose their blue copies are in a dilemma as these are a requirement to change your Zim licence to British one and Zim cannot even assist with duplicates to these .
In Canada 🇨🇦 they don’t care about your foreign drivers license. You have to go through the learners license, lessons and road test. And when you pass your road tests you have to surrender all other drivers licenses you have.
There’s no more rule of law in Zimbabwe. Standards have gone down. Zimbabwe drivers license was well respected here in UK. There’s rule of law in UK. The driving of some of the people who are coming now from Zimbabwe is appalling. Rhodesia time was good and strict with driving. Even in the 80s and 90s drivers licenses were much better than now. The country has gone to the dogs. You can’t drink and drive in UK like what is done in Zimbabwe. Rule of law needs to be restored period.
Exactly! It’s sad that instead of fixing the problems with our institutions they’re plundering all the resources on flashy cars and self enrichment programs
No such thing. If you have a genuine drivers license you can change it for a UK lisense. Most Zimbabweans are bringing forges drivers lisence and when asked to drive they cannot.
Here in Poland only six months using your zim license after those 6 months convert your license to the one requaired in Poland but mostly it takes 2 weeks then you given a specific code like class 4 is called code B here.

I am curious, Zimbabweans have been coming to the UK and peaceably converting their licences or getting licences in the UK for decades and going along nicely much like anyone else. Why the sudden issue? Is it because of the UK's desperation for workers and putting the unreasonable demand that people have drivers licences in order to get jobs/ visas, that they have unwittingly encouraged the push towards deviant, hurried methods, such as the buying of licences? In past years I knew people who took public transport to do care work until they saved up the money to take lessons and pass driver's tests. They usually went for the easiest licence to get, the automatic. Why is this new batch of Zimbabweans unable to do what so many before them managed to do? I am curious. There has to be a reason. I've even seen people complain about having to use public transport to take their children to school. What did you think life would be as an immigrant. Just automatically cushy the same as it was at home. If you expected that you should have immigrated as IT specialists or high earning finance professionals, not as careworkers. A careworker is a bottom of the barrel job anywhere you go in the world, so you should understand that making it in a country on that salary is going to be challenging, probably in all respects. I don't say this to be unkind, I say it to be realistic. It isn't everyone who can hussle and survive in all environments. If taking public transport in the cold, or having to pay to take a new licence, are serious problems for you, stay at home. Seriously, stay at home.
It’s a question not a title, anyways most people aren’t able to get their licenses back, someone has been waiting since June and already a lot of reports are saying they’re reviewing the paperwork
That's a lie, victim mentality and blaming everybody for your electing wrong will not help you. Please introspect. Here in Botswana they are everywhere and doing everything even the unthinkable
How sad. Tell her to look at registering with one of those online teach English Schools. I assume she speaks excellent English if she is a lecturer by profession. She could earn up to £20 an hour as I understand it. She could start it as a side gig and then ditch caring altogether when she is earning enough from online teaching. This is also feasibly something she could do even if she chose to return home. All the best to your sister.
It’s shocking that a lot of people are in agreement with your statement. Fair and fine we have a broken system which you have highlighted but then I don’t see the benefit of bringing such information to light. It’s creates an even bad image for us Zimbabweans. But hey that’s just my opinion 🙌🏽
Oh piss off. Not one kombi driver in SA is Zimbabwean and yet they are the greatest menace on your roads. I am half South African and have spent lots of time there. You have high traffic accidents because you drink like fish and then drive, and because you too have corrupt government agencies and people buy licences just like Indians, Chinese and Europeans buy passports. Always trying to blame Zimbabweans for your own bad behaviour and incompetency. Grow up.
Hi Taffy, the issue of Driver’s Licenses is very sad. I take it in two folds , One the DVLA is truly justified by requesting authenticity of the Zim Drivers License coz truly l have witnessed many people with Class 2 Driver’s Licenses who can’t drive a manual Class 4 vehicle and you wonder how such people got their licenses. Two like you said a whole country like Zimbabwe can not have a Government email with a gmail domain. Even individual companies in the UK have company domains so for the UK Govt it becomes doubtful that CVR email addresses are legit
I know many people from Zimbabwe they can't drive a normal car, l know two people who caused accidents here in the U.K. if you are a driver its easy::the first day l came in the U.K. l started driving.
The problem brah is because people with brains ain't participating in politics. So we end up being led by people who have 0 vision. And those without brains end being in charge. My view is that let's join Zanu to change our country cause opposing them won't yeald anything
Is this a fact or just general assumption.. If they can not afford the £30 how can they afford car. Is UK giving free cars. It's expensive in UK and Most people use the trains and buses unless if they are people looking for jobs as drivers . Not all carers needs driving . Please give correct information. There is 75% of critic and blame offering no solutions. Murikuzvitumbura akomana. Find solutions . Help each other to find solutions. They don't like you and you don't like yourselves so that is what you get.
1. No one said you won’t afford the £30 per lesson, but if you’re forking out that amount when you already have a license, that is an expense ! 2. Please listen to understand and not to argue, I never said it’s only people that drive that do care, I said I quote “most of the people that come need to be driving from one house to another” Please don’t misquote me! 3. 75% critic and blame is coming from a very good place and authentic source of information, I cannot speak good that doesn’t exist! 4. What solution should one find When it’s supposed to be done by the government? Seriously ???? 5. No one said they like us, and we definitely like ourselves hence we are voicing our concerns to a government that is parasitic ! I hope you’ll have a good night 🙏🏾

@tinashejabangwe8524 So if that’s the case why are there accidents with people failing to understand the mechanism of driving In motorways? In your opinion so because it’s easy for others it makes it easier?
Find out why they are being refused to drive. Some of them don’t even know the rules of the road because they never had driving lessons and passed. There are corrupt officers who sell them these drivers licenses. So when they apply for the jobs which need drivers they lie that they can drive.
You can convert it to a UK licence even if you are Zimbabwean. South Africa and Zimbabwe are the only 2 countries that can convert their licences to UK licences. However, you have to prove that you are a resident of South Africa.
The driving in Zimbabwe is hardest than in uk people dont follow rules but the mistake was only when pipo went to class 2 without doing class 4 this was terrible u can't do that diesel engine is easy that petrol
The problem with you guys in the diaspora must be reminded timeously that you are not the first, and certainly not the last to be there. We all have been there in the diaspora, longer than you in fact. You are better off trooping back to Zimbabwe. There is nothing greener about those pastures afterall.
@@TafadzwaSimonSays Zimbabwean people used to be very practical and sensible in their judgement about life matters. The current crop of emigrants to other countries lack soul and insight into modern day geopolitics. As a result they make questionable decisions, and often conveniently fall prey to messianic politics of the Chamisa ilk, who feed on enriching themselves from donor funds at every election, all at the cost of ordinary people's lives.

It’s a question not a title, anyways most people aren’t able to get their licenses back, someone has been waiting since June and already a lot of reports are saying they’re reviewing the paperwork
when did this update start, because l know some people last week who changed their licenses coming from Zimbabwe
They must be lucky
Come home we must fight Zanu pf simple.
When Mugabe was removed did people need to leave the diaspora ?
That's a lie, victim mentality and blaming everybody for your electing wrong will not help you. Please introspect. Here in Botswana they are everywhere and doing everything even the unthinkable
I’m trying to understand who is being blamed here?
At least Zambia is not worse than Hell
A sister of mine from being a university lecture is now a home career in UK
Eish that’s really sad 😞
How sad. Tell her to look at registering with one of those online teach English Schools. I assume she speaks excellent English if she is a lecturer by profession. She could earn up to £20 an hour as I understand it. She could start it as a side gig and then ditch caring altogether when she is earning enough from online teaching. This is also feasibly something she could do even if she chose to return home. All the best to your sister.
Do they consider the driving experience of a driver in uk..
They don’t, they just recognise the regulatory framework that is similar to the UK’s
It's really tough being a Zimbabwean
Very sad
its not tough its a CRIME being a Zimbabwean
And what about being a self imposed refugee 😂😂
It's tough for a lot of countries in the world right now actually, but you all love to feel sorry for yourselves.
word brother 👏
Hi my brother
It’s shocking that a lot of people are in agreement with your statement. Fair and fine we have a broken system which you have highlighted but then I don’t see the benefit of bringing such information to light. It’s creates an even bad image for us Zimbabweans. But hey that’s just my opinion 🙌🏽
Okay, what’s beneficial then? You can help me
You good my guy.
Thanks 🙏🏾
You just gained a follower 🇿🇼👏
Welcome brother welcome 🙏🏾
Point of correction lesson it's £65
Really 🥺🥺
Maybe that's a revelation to why South Africa has such a high incidence of road accidents since the Zimbabweans flocked into South From 2010.
Hahaha could be
You are talking trash, useless and silly comment, everything you blame zim
That Is the truth
Oh piss off. Not one kombi driver in SA is Zimbabwean and yet they are the greatest menace on your roads. I am half South African and have spent lots of time there. You have high traffic accidents because you drink like fish and then drive, and because you too have corrupt government agencies and people buy licences just like Indians, Chinese and Europeans buy passports. Always trying to blame Zimbabweans for your own bad behaviour and incompetency. Grow up.
Hi Taffy, the issue of Driver’s Licenses is very sad. I take it in two folds , One the DVLA is truly justified by requesting authenticity of the Zim Drivers License coz truly l have witnessed many people with Class 2 Driver’s Licenses who can’t drive a manual Class 4 vehicle and you wonder how such people got their licenses. Two like you said a whole country like Zimbabwe can not have a Government email with a gmail domain. Even individual companies in the UK have company domains so for the UK Govt it becomes doubtful that CVR email addresses are legit
Very true, but over and above, it’s the weakness of our institutions that do not perfect their drivers! CVR should have institutional control
I know many people from Zimbabwe they can't drive a normal car, l know two people who caused accidents here in the U.K. if you are a driver its easy::the first day l came in the U.K. l started driving.
On point bro
Thank you my brother
Keep up the good job of information sharing brother.
Thank you 🙏🏾
The problem brah is because people with brains ain't participating in politics. So we end up being led by people who have 0 vision. And those without brains end being in charge. My view is that let's join Zanu to change our country cause opposing them won't yeald anything
Once you join ZANU and you’re smart, you become dumb
What's the solution then
Cause we won't get them out of power
Is this a fact or just general assumption.. If they can not afford the £30 how can they afford car. Is UK giving free cars. It's expensive in UK and Most people use the trains and buses unless if they are people looking for jobs as drivers . Not all carers needs driving . Please give correct information. There is 75% of critic and blame offering no solutions. Murikuzvitumbura akomana. Find solutions . Help each other to find solutions. They don't like you and you don't like yourselves so that is what you get.
1. No one said you won’t afford the £30 per lesson, but if you’re forking out that amount when you already have a license, that is an expense !
2. Please listen to understand and not to argue, I never said it’s only people that drive that do care, I said I quote “most of the people that come need to be driving from one house to another” Please don’t misquote me!
3. 75% critic and blame is coming from a very good place and authentic source of information, I cannot speak good that doesn’t exist!
4. What solution should one find When it’s supposed to be done by the government? Seriously ????
5. No one said they like us, and we definitely like ourselves hence we are voicing our concerns to a government that is parasitic !
I hope you’ll have a good night 🙏🏾
@@TafadzwaSimonSays No dear my bad you seem to have figured that out . Been there done that. The sad part of life is Zimbabwean includes us all . If that is the solution well we will be ok . You are doing great..👐
Thanks for the info
You’re welcome
This is bull crape
Okay
There appears to be an excessive amount of generalization and misleading information presented in this content.
Regarding the issue of the license.. I had to pay $50 to get my metal disc.
Imagine, now they make people pay $90
@@TafadzwaSimonSays It's happening bro..provision you pay $90 they'll write the test for you that is why most of our people cause a lot of accidents... They do not understand the rules of the road.

Tragic Zim tale
It is indeed
I didn't use back hand
What a lucky man on earth
@TaffyTalesAfro well I actually did use back hand ,but I still went to driving school ,did everything well ,but at the end of the day still had to use it ,because even if you pass ,they will fail you ...now I live in botswana were a similar system is being copied
TC
Uuuuuuii shame
Your headline is extremely misleading, and causing unnecessary moral panic.
Hi thank you for your contribution, but as far as we are concerned, the headline is a question not a statement
Taffy, are you from Kays?
Hi mate I’m from Zimbabwe 🇿🇼

if UK is trying to be xenophobic to Zimbabwe's they must be chased away from the country also.
Can we atleast try to be coach able when reprimanded than taking it as an offense. You need to behave yourselves and adhere to the rules of the hosting countries when you are hosted. stop being victims all the time.
keep shaming them bro sadly they not even listening.
Your heading is factually incorrect and very misleading
The heading has a question mark ❓ that’s a matter of debate

@mosesraradza679 what have I put that’s not in the video ?
you talked or Spoke….which is which
Choose based on your observation
But now there mo more metal licence, there is new plastic licence
Yes I mentioned it at the end but still UK immigrants are using metal ones, to change it has to be facilitated by the embassy
Hope the Embassy will facilitate soonest to change metal licences to plastic ones

As it stands the UK government says the Zim government is not cooperating! They say they’re not responding
So you say Zimbos can exchange licences bcz Zm was a colony of UK ?? ??? Do your homework chief !

There are no more metal licence disks in Zimbabwe. Update your current knowledge please and stop conveniently smearing the country for nothing.
There’s no more according to the video if you watch till the end before dismissing it! In the UK the new one is unknown! I don’t need to smear any country! The country is smeared by its own politicians
Misleading & political

What is not hard please ?
@@TafadzwaSimonSays driving in the motorway
@tinashejabangwe8524 Is there any motorway in Zimbabwe? If not then why would someone find it easy?
@@TafadzwaSimonSays if you are a driver the art of driving a car it's the same. It's not about the road that makes it difficult but people who can't drive actually
@tinashejabangwe8524 So if that’s the case why are there accidents with people failing to understand the mechanism of driving In motorways? In your opinion so because it’s easy for others it makes it easier?
Don’t mislead people
Okay fair and fine, please indicate where have I misled people?
Find out why they are being refused to drive. Some of them don’t even know the rules of the road because they never had driving lessons and passed. There are corrupt officers who sell them these drivers licenses. So when they apply for the jobs which need drivers they lie that they can drive.
Ok fair and true, have I not say that in the video ?
@@engelinamafirakurewa2137But zvirimo wani mu video, people don’t just argue 🤦🏾♂️
So what if you're using a south african driver's license
You’re good 100%
You can convert it to a UK licence even if you are Zimbabwean. South Africa and Zimbabwe are the only 2 countries that can convert their licences to UK licences. However, you have to prove that you are a resident of South Africa.
But you bought it.
The driving in Zimbabwe is hardest than in uk people dont follow rules but the mistake was only when pipo went to class 2 without doing class 4 this was terrible u can't do that diesel engine is easy that petrol
Very interesting, you really think Zim has complicated road networks than UK?
Your episodes are biting my guy!
Hahaha if you feel like that then it’s working thanks bro
@@TafadzwaSimonSays where is the lie Bro ,because I’m yet to see it in all the videos you doing .
Fake news
Show us your truth sir 🙏🏾
The problem with you guys in the diaspora must be reminded timeously that you are not the first, and certainly not the last to be there. We all have been there in the diaspora, longer than you in fact. You are better off trooping back to Zimbabwe. There is nothing greener about those pastures afterall.
Interesting comment there, genuine question, would you blame people though?
@@TafadzwaSimonSays Zimbabwean people used to be very practical and sensible in their judgement about life matters. The current crop of emigrants to other countries lack soul and insight into modern day geopolitics. As a result they make questionable decisions, and often conveniently fall prey to messianic politics of the Chamisa ilk, who feed on enriching themselves from donor funds at every election, all at the cost of ordinary people's lives.
