This Zimba based in SA was driving with his SA registered car nevana in the CBD, he turned into Innez Terrace. Unknown to him the street is now a one way saka he was driving the wrong way and the signage is absent to show you kuti its one way. Hanzi ZRP inenge inotori ne ambush.

When he comes back anowana Harare city council parking va clamper mota yacho paariku negotiator hamenowo numwe driver arikutiza ve parking anobva amutsika in the full view of the kids 😭😭 Apa madam variku passport office she is renewing her passport.
The family drove to Zim for their holidays and now they have this horror story on something that was preventable, was it necessary for ZRP to arrest him in the first place? They know the signage is non existent, the guy is a tourist, zvakawoma hazvo.
Zvakawoma hazvo, this story must not just die down like that inotoda post mortem yakasimba. How can we have this kind of lawlessness inotangira kumapurisa? This family's world has been shattered forever.

The Government of Zimbabwe bought 18 cars for the Attorney-General’s office from Byword Trading and Paza Buster for a total of US$907,930.
US$374,430 for 7 cars from Byword Trading and US$533,500 for 11 cars from Paza Buster.
NOTHING was delivered, and the government kept quiet!
In any country, this would be an outrageous massive corruption scandal, but not in Zimbabwe!
The Attorney-General's office is just another victim of the rampant looting of public funds in Mnangagwa’s corrupt regime.
The fact that not even a single car was delivered is just crazy but the norm in this corrupt regime, yet the government officials concerned kept quiet because they were part of the plot.
The staggering amount of money wasted on these non-existent cars could have been used to purchase much needed medical supplies, provide clean drinking water, or provide education and books for children in need.
It is truly heartbreaking to see public funds squandered like this.
The fact that these thieves would brazenly use the Attorney-General’s office of all departments to loot public funds just shows how deeply corrupt this regime is.
The pictures below are of Virginia Mabhiza who is Zimbabwe’s current Attorney-General and her predecessor, Prince Machaya who was in charge when this looting took place!
The fact that the Attorney-General's office, which is supposed to uphold the law, has been compromised in this way is a damning indictment of the Zimbabwean government's failure to root out corruption.

This is Munyaradzi Gwisai addressing university lecturers, including professors at the University of Zimbabwe today in Harare.
He is the legal advisor for the Association of University Teachers at the University of Zimbabwe and also a law lecturer at the same university.
Gwisai said the strike by the academics is not just about the lecturers, who earn US$230 (R4,181) a month, but also about the underpaid working class of Zimbabwe.

The engine of looting public funds in Zimbabwe under the Mnangagwa regime is the Ministry of Finance.
The ministry is purported to have given US$11.7 million to other departments, yet the Auditor General found that only US$8.4 million was accounted for.
US$3.3 million was LOOTED!
The Permanent Secretary, George Guvamatanga, is accused of asking for bribes to facilitate the release of funds to pay invoices.
The Minister of Finance, Mthuli Ncube, is a failed banker who is also a South African citizen and is building a massive mansion in Johannesburg, South Africa.
The fact that the Ministry of Finance, which is supposed to be responsible for managing public funds, is actually engaging in bribery and embezzlement is astounding.
George Guvamatanga's alleged role in demanding bribes to release public funds is not only reprehensible and indicative of systemic rot within the ministry, but it is also disgusting, especially as it is happening when Zimbabweans are dying in dilapidated hospitals.
Mthuli Ncube's involvement in these scandals, while simultaneously serving as the Minister of Finance and building a mansion in South Africa, is a blatant abuse of power. These men are corrupt, and one day they will pay a huge price for this plunder.
US$3.3 million could have built 89 maternity theatres, the biggest hospital in Zimbabwe only has ONE maternity theatre build by the colonial government in 1977.

Zimbabwe’s Ministry of Information and Publicity paid for 7 Toyota Double Cab vehicles through Solution Motors; NOTHING was delivered.
This ministry is run by Mnangagwa’s regime motor mouth propagandist Nick Mangwana, who is at the forefront of defending the looting and plunder by his regime and his party, ZANUPF!
Seven years ago, the Ministry of Agriculture paid US$207,540 for 4 vehicles through Solution Motors; NOTHING was delivered.
Solution Motors, owned by Innocent Sibanda, was paid $518,000 by the ZANUPF regime to deliver 10 cars, but only 5 were delivered, worth only about $100,000.
The same company was paid US$1 million to supply heavy-duty machinery in December 2017; NOTHING was delivered!
This company has a long-standing relationship with the ZANU-PF regime and is being rewarded with lucrative contracts, despite its inability to actually provide the goods it has been paid for.
While this looting and plunder of public funds was happening, ZANUPF made people like President Ramaphosa of South Africa look like clowns parroting the sanctions propaganda while the public purse is being pillaged!

This is Jameson Timba in prison uniform, a very senior opposition leader in Zimbabwe.
You must know him today if you didn’t already.
He is in jail after being arrested last week with his son and 70 other young people who had met at his home to commemorate the 1976 South African Youth Day.
Timba loves mentoring young people!!!
Jameson Timba has lost a lot from supporting the struggle against tyranny in Zimbabwe.
That is why every sane Zimbabwean should stand up for him and the 70 others who are in jail with him!
This is a man I met around 2006 when he owned a thriving IT business in Harare and Bulawayo.
He chose to support the struggle against corrupt rule and tyranny and lost all the contracts he had.
He was part of Morgan Tsvangirai’s political backbone.
I remember meeting him at O.R. Tambo Airport in September 2008 when I was flying back home with Morgan Tsvangirai.
Timba had just landed from Harare.
He was fleeing from the 2008 post-election violence, while Tsvangirai was returning home after being in hiding in Botswana for months.
We were driven to the airport by Strive Masiyiwa’s security and team of drivers.
My then boss, Tim Singleton, who now heads the Sky News foreign desk, flew me to Johannesburg to be on Morgan Tsvangirai’s flight back home.
I was the ITV News producer covering Zimbabwe and I had a very good relationship with Tsvangirai who agreed that I would get exclusive access to film for our News at Ten programme on ITV News in the UK.
As we went through VIP security at O.R. Tambo, Tsvangirai was told that one of his lieutenants had landed and wanted to see him before he flew out to Harare. It was Timba!
“Do you have money,” Tsvangirai asked Timba.
With tears overwhelming him, Timba simply said, “I will be fine, but our people have been brutalised and are in submission.”
This man is a warrior for democracy who never makes noise about what he has done for the struggle or what he has lost because of it.
It makes me cry when men like him are persecuted, lose everything, and we fail to even talk about their persecution and suffering!
Timba shouldn’t be in jail for meeting with young people at his private residence.
The captured and shameless courts in Harare must release this man and the 70 others!
They were beaten up. Some can’t even walk, and yet ZANU-PF wants to join the @commonwealthsec while doing this!
Remember Timba in your prayers. Remember the 70 young people who were arrested with him.
This shouldn’t happen in a democratic country;m, well, Zimbabwe is a dictatorship!
It's gut-wrenching to think of the injustices Timba and the 70 are facing, and the brazen abuse of power by the authorities.
It is sad that the recognised CCC faction is quiet while Timba and the 70 others are being persecuted!
We cannot let their stories be forgotten or overlooked.
