Thirty-seven Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) Mabvuku officers, who were transferred to various police stations and posts dotted around the country on allegations of corruption, approached the High Court on Wednesday and thwarted the force's move to have them charged and dismissed by a suitability board. The officers have since been suspended from the force.
In an urgent chamber application Bulawayo High Court judge Justice Martin Makonese issued an order suspending the convening of the suitability board.
The police officers, bearing the ranks of Assistant Inspectors, Sergeants and Constables, cited the board president, Chief Superintendent, Patrick Wasara, Senior Assistant Commissioner, Chief Staff Officer Justice Chengeta and Commissioner-General of Police, Augustine Chihuri as first, second and third respondents, respectively.
