A Harare City Council’s traffic officer is caught up in the eye of a storm after he allegedly demanded a bribe from a motorist and assaulted him when he demanded his money back, which once again cast the spotlight on the city’s traffic operations.
Several motorists have in the past complained of harassment by traffic officers with the latest case involving Plot Mhako having been recorded.
In a statement, Harare City Council said it is appealing to the resident who was involved in the incident to come forward and assist with investigations.
“The City of Harare takes such issues seriously and stern disciplinary action will be taken against this officer and others who engage in such unprofessional conduct. Our sincere apologies to the resident,” said the city.
It further urged the resident to immediately contact the acting chief security officer investigations, Mr Gilford Sabumba.
