Dear Zimbabwe Republic Police - ZRP
Here is one of your officers receiving a bribe in exchange for releasing a vendor she had arrested. This was yesterday in Harare’s central business district.
They target vendors, arrest them, then release them for a fee. The rot runs from top to bottom.
Corruption in Zimbabwe, including bribery and abuse of power, is an ongoing issue that affects the the whole country. Unfortunately, this problem extends to law enforcement officers.
This video highlights the detrimental effects of corruption on the justice system and society as a whole.
Targeting vulnerable communities like vendors and exploiting them for financial gain not only perpetuates injustice but also erodes trust in the very institutions meant to protect citizens.
