A ROGUE policeman, Assistant Inspector Simbarashe Mandizvidza, who went viral issuing treasonous social media videos and statements, has been arrested.

He is now facing both disciplinary and criminal charges.

In a statement yesterday, national police spokesperson Commissioner Paul Nyathi said: “The Zimbabwe Republic Police categorically disassociates itself from the treasonous social media videos and statements issued by a rogue policeman, Assistant Inspector Simbarashe Mandizvidza, recently.

“The errant member has since been arrested and is now facing both disciplinary charges under the Police Act (Chapter 11:10) and criminal proceedings.

“The Commissioner-General of Police, Stephen Mutamba, assures the public that the Zimbabwe Republic Police will continue serving the people of Zimbabwe and the country’s leadership in line with the tenets of the police’s constitutional mandate.”
