Harare City Council has suspended eight municipal police officers and two water department officials over corruption allegations.
The city’s corporate communications manager Mr Stanley Gama confirmed the suspensions on the city’s Facebook Page and said the city is taking the fight against corruption seriously.
Among those suspended are Takudzwa Majachani, Sipiwe Matavire, Taurai Guregure, Hebert Mukumba, Tonderai Nyikadzino, Douglas Nyemba, Ignatius Pesvani, Newman Mhereyenyoka as well as street parking supervisors only identified as Mapfumo and Muringisi.
Mr Gama urged residents to report any suspicious transgressions by council officials.
“On October 21, 2024, at Reliance Mall, Harare CBD patrol women Takudzwa Majachani and Sipiwe Matavire who are under the Environmental Patrolwomen Unit masqueraded as police officers who are mandated to carry out shop licensing duties when in fact they are not mandated to carry out such duties.
“They demanded shop licenses from a shop owner at the mall. Their actions were inconsistent with their duties,” he said.
