Presidential Guard soldier at State House Harare

Yesterday at around 10:00 PM, I was driving an inDrive customer to Borrowdale. I used the road that passes by State House and the Harare Golf Club. Just after the durawall of State House, near the agricultural buildings, there was a single Presidential Guard soldier.

 

He stopped a Toyota Aqua and made it pull over to the side of the road, but I did not stop because I did not realise I was being signalled. On my way back, the same soldier stopped me. He asked for my driver’s licence and car keys, which I handed over.

 

He then asked where I was coming from, and I explained that I was coming from Borrowdale, as I was working as an inDrive driver. He said he wanted to deal with me for not stopping when I was allegedly signalled by officers near the Botanical Gardens. I told him that I did not see anyone signalling me to stop.

 

 

 

 

He then said he was arresting me and that he would deal with me. When he attempted to put me in handcuffs, I refused. At that point, he cocked his gun and pointed it at me, saying, “Do you think I am playing? Do something.”

 

Out of fear for my safety, I gave him the $20 I had. He also appeared to be intoxicated.I met the same soldier yesterday 

He wanted to exort me $40 for the exact same reason ini ndakati kana muchida kuuraya officer itai zvamunoda asi ini handisi kubvuma mhosva iyi and macuffs handisi kuzoiswa ndikamira pakati peroad for him to shoot and he was drunk to the core 

 

 

 

 

I told him to call his supervisor or superior and I started to call my own people from CIO that is when he saw that the tish was getting real ndopaakati chiendai 

 

I asked him kuti what crime did we commit and all he could say was tasungwa 

 

So where do we report to because I can ID him And I am sure kuti they have log ins for soldiers patrolling that areas 

 

Unless masoldier are above the lawWell similar happened to me but he wasn't alone. It was 2 soldiers and 2 police man. The soldiers were asking me to lie on the ground trying to intimidate me but the police man said go..the 2 police man saved me and even asked where I want to go and gave me directions then the soldiers said you're ignoring our order but the police insisted I should go onInvest in dash cams and expose them online with proof.
