Two Policemen Suspended After Viral Bribery Video Emerges

Two policemen from Harare, Sergeant James Chifamba (46) and Constable Trymore Mukunza (36), were suspended from duty after being captured on camera allegedly accepting bribes from motorists.

The police are investigating not only the two officers but also motorists and commuter omnibus (kombi) crews who are suspected of offering the bribes.

Chifamba and Mukunza were charged with criminal abuse of office as public officers and appeared in court before Harare Magistrate Marehwanazvo Gofa. They were remanded in custody.

Last week, a kombi driver, Tinashe Madzima, and a conductor, Ishamel Gonyora, were arrested after being seen in the video offering bribes to the policemen. Two commuter omnibuses were also impounded.

Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) spokesperson Commissioner Paul Nyathi said that they are continuing to identify other suspects involved in the bribery scheme, and further arrests may follow. He said:

The Police are also pursuing other suspects who are implicated in this incident. The Zimbabwe Republic Police urges motorists to refrain from offering bribes to police officers as swift action will be taken against them for justice to prevail.
The public is implored to report incidents of bribery or corruption on National Complaints Desk number (0242) 703631 or WhatsApp on 0712 800 197 or report at any nearest police station.

Our police is the most corrupt gvt organization.You are stopped at a road block ,you are requested to pull over some metres from the block ,the conductor is instruted to head back to the officers where payment is done .No ticket issued.The combi is overloaded , unroadworthy with an unlicensed driver and a police detail is amongst the passengers.The police detail leaves you to go .What hogwash.

Its the government that is ought to be blamed.They know police officers are taking bribes on the road and still do not encourage officers in charge of police to mandatory register road blocks as a way to identify personal at road blocks. Those who report bribe taking police officers are often victimised.Recently a man was visited by officers at home after he refused to pay a bribe and took his car away.

The people demanding bribes get suspended, probably on full pay. The kombi driver gets his source of income taken away and gets arrested. That seems fair?
