THE Harare Community Liaison Committee (CLC) has presented a Nissan Hard Body twin cab to the Officer Commanding Harare Province, Commissioner Wonder Tembo.
The vehicle was repaired from police scrap vehicles dumped at its workshop, which were then repaired by private company Taffy1 Auto Mobile.
The car will be used for awareness campaigns against crime, with emphasis on domestic violence, juvenile rape and theft of vehicles.
Samson Nhanhanga, of CAG Travelers, donated a speaker to be attached to the vehicle for the awareness campaigns.
Harare CLC chairperson, Nathaniel Madzivanyika, said:
“Police will use this vehicle in moving around our communities, meeting people and conscientising them on various crimes,” he said.
Taffy1 Automobile director, Tafadzwa Jakarasi, said his company will continue to repair and service the vehicle.
“We feel blessed to partner the police in fighting crime. We will make sure the vehicle remains on the road by repairing and servicing it.
“Ukabirwa mota unokungura kuti dai police yaisa maroadblocks kwese kwese, zvino hatidi kuti tizowona kukosha kwavo tabirwa,” said Jakarasi.
Commissioner Tembo hailed CLC for working closely with the police in fighting crime.
“I, and all the district commanders, were surprised by the efforts shown by CLC.
“Last month, Safeguard donated a vehicle to Braeside Police Station and Avondale Police Station also received a commuter omnibus and today we are seeing the other works of CLC.
“If the community continues to partner us in fighting crime like this, I promise that there will be a big decline in the crime rate.
“This vehicle will start to work tomorrow in Mbare where we will be meeting travellers. Thank you very much for this donation, we will make sure it is put to good use,” said Comm Tembo.
