Social Media Flooded With Reactions The announcement sparked immediate online reactions.

Many questioned the practicality of the rule and joked about the extreme age limit.

One user, @Mukoma_C, posted: “1930 kudhara, vintage cars! okay.

What about Classic cars? 1960 Shelby Cobra? ” Another, @princeleez, wrote on 15 August: “Hmmmmmm 1930 varikuiziva hre Amana almost 100 years ago iiiiih” (Do they even know 1930, almost 100 years ago? ) Others suggested the regulation benefits only a few. @skmoyo1 tweeted: “Such a narrow definition of vintage vehicle.

Unless this SI is for the benefit of someone. ” The disbelief was also clear in comments by @dysonchivasa who simply reacted: “1931 here amana. ” Humour dominated the conversation. @TalentVga posted: “1931, panotoda twuma Ford T mobile twune mavhiri anenge ebhasikoro twuya chete. ” (We now need those Ford T mobiles with wheels like bicycles only. ) Another user, @Emnny3, pointed out: “Hold on, did @Zimra_11 say cars import before 1931?

Even Mugabe was not born then ” Calls For A Wider Definition Many Zimbabweans argued that the ruling was outdated and called for recognition of vehicles from the 1960s and 1980s as vintage. @TTMambeu shared: “They are mad. 1931!

A 1980 car is already a vintage.

It’s 45 years old for goodness sake.

That car should be regarded as vintage! ” Similarly, @dave_ndlovu wrote: “At least make it 1965.

I mean 1931 is very restrictive😂😂😂. ” Others linked the directive to possible vested interests. @RukaaChivende tweeted: “Someone high up there who has his car manufactured in 1931 was seeking for an importation. ” While some saw the move as opening loopholes, ZIMRA emphasised that the change was meant to support “cultural diplomacy” and ease cross-border movement of historic vehicles. on Google News for Immediate Updates Tags: Vintaage CarZIMRA. 🔗
