CITY of Harare Mayor, Jacob Mafume, has warned that some municipal officers could face severe sanctions as he ordered an investigation into allegations that they brutally assaulted a vendor in the capital this week.
Video footage showed municipal police officers attacking a vendor and Mafume wants a thorough probe into the incident.
“We have called this meeting so that we can deal with some issues that are both housekeeping and of national concern.
‘’We once had a similar meeting with traffic police at a time when residents were complaining about the way some of our officers were enforcing by-laws.
‘’We need to be careful in our method, we are the primary police force in our country.”
