Ndabeni dnt jus put the blame on our beloved Prime Minister, wat wrong has he done here?If we are really serious abt having the rule of law in this beloved country, let us vote this parasite called Zanu Pf out.Let us give it a white wash like the NO vote in the referendum.But if we really serious abt booting this parasite out gud pple, we will have 2 vote for a person who will be able to defeat Mugabe come next elections.Bantu bakithi ma siqinisile sibisibili sifuna inguquko eZimbabwe kasikhohlweni ngowelshman Ncube, otherwise undoda lo uzo divider amavotes in favour of uMugabe.Pliz bantu bakithi, the only person who can deliver a new Zimbabwe at the moment is non other than Morgan Tsvangirai.

Our police is very corupt unprofesional and so partisan.l hate them 2 the borne l wil never sympatherse with them in any situation .if l find a police officer fighting a snake l wil help a snake.soldiers a far much better than these idiots.l hate these pupets
19 Mar 2013 at 14:21hrs
Dictators all the way,,how can you separate Zanpf from ZRP,l feel for Zimmers,simple in order for them to release her the rule of law must tell the leader himself,then Beatrice will be out,if not then she gonna suffer in those dripping hands of vampires!!!!
19 Mar 2013 at 14:06hrs
They are above the law only when dealing with the opposition party.let them touch a prominent ruling party mbr nd u wil see i know that i was there
19 Mar 2013 at 13:55hrs
According 2 marxism those who own the means of production make laws.the police serves as repressive apparatus that enforce e law.Police recieve orders without quastioning.
19 Mar 2013 at 13:21hrs
Its a ridiculous police exercise. Everyone knows that the Zim police is above the law because it is a partisan police that does not do any good to the public. With the way things are , I think there's no Rule of law in Zimbabwe and this is usually associated with elements of dictatorship in which all the powers are centralised in the President. In this case the Judiciary has before an ineffective body that has to serve only the executive. This is too disrepectful of the law and something has to be done about it.

Police are not above the law but they take orders from those who eat with Chihuri. Why didnt the cops just obey the order then bring her to court if the think she was wrong??? I strongly beieve they (Zanu) have lost power in their imagination now they use police as a tool of oppression
19 Mar 2013 at 12:59hrs
LOOOK at this issue deeper, Zaac , kasukunyengwa shure,obert mpofu now trying to divert attention frm their corruption innocent people being sucrificed, using ill gotten milions time is running out history tells us where is Sddam.Gaddaffi & Mubaraki they should start putting televisions and good beds at chikurubi and khami prisons coz they are next in line
19 Mar 2013 at 12:41hrs
Above e law or not guys remember what you do to other man you will get it before you die soon or later some will realise it
19 Mar 2013 at 12:20hrs
What's being executed to poor jah people of Zimbabwe is painful,iam notparty member but as a citizen of that country massess of people are not considered as human beings by ruling party,they kill, beat,rape&frame citizens for their own gains&installing fear to every Zimbabwean,painful indeed
19 Mar 2013 at 12:06hrs
We need to understand that ZRP is an institution that works under authority of the President and to question their action is like dealing with the leaves of tree. The real issue here should be asking who is behind their acts....
19 Mar 2013 at 12:04hrs
ZRP are simple taking orders from ZANU politicians&they are afraid might endup loosing their jobs,iam telling you Zimbabwe is going nowhere with thugs in power,its worse than Smith era
19 Mar 2013 at 11:58hrs
ZRP are the law themself I hate them to the fullest
19 Mar 2013 at 11:55hrs
there is nothing wrong with ZRP, those guys are simply taking orders from above, there is no reason for a mere police detective assistant inspector to ignore a high court order without instructions from above. this comes from as high as the President himself, i have worked for uniformed forces before and i know how the system works.
19 Mar 2013 at 11:30hrs
Bt what is e co minister doing!
19 Mar 2013 at 11:18hrs
Very unfortunate for my countrymen some of whom will never taste freedom. Am glad my children are not exposed to this arrogance emanating from the ZANU govt with Tsvangirai standing on the sidelines cheering them on.
19 Mar 2013 at 11:16hrs
They must release her if the court says. And ZRP has to follow the low each and every time. As for me I'm happy with ZRP work cause the crime rate very low they must keep well doing
19 Mar 2013 at 11:15hrs
zrp is above the law like it or not! kana uchida kuzviona para mhosva!!!
19 Mar 2013 at 11:06hrs
Do not lie guys ZRP is not at all above the law but powerful Zanupf guys using them are the ones above the law. Ukasayirira munhu imbwa ikamuruma tingati yakanganisa?
19 Mar 2013 at 11:01hrs
Yess! ZRP they are not only above the Law,there are themselves. But very soon it will come to end.
19 Mar 2013 at 10:48hrs
There is something wrong in this country when one talk about lawlessness in the country he/she becomes a wrong person.But truelly speaking people do not eat sovereign in the country but want bread and butter on their tables
19 Mar 2013 at 10:43hrs
ZRP can create alaw that works and favour them for as long as they can get satisfied then the law will be over and does nt exist anymore. Once you open a case against a ZRP member you also got charged {fabricated} to silence you. They are above the law I'm talking from experiance.
19 Mar 2013 at 10:22hrs
It would be interesting if Beatrice sued Home Affairs, Chihuri in his personal capacity and the whole lot of unprofessional idiots from CID Law and Order for unlawful detention and contempt of court. Surely any court worth its salt should deliver a conviction
19 Mar 2013 at 10:19hrs
Yes they are above the law they have shown it time after time.you see ZRP does not talk but they act their power,the courts talk their power but don't act there power that's the difference...they is no freedom in Zimbabwe as long as the people don't have power....they is paper freedom now.what we need is people power
19 Mar 2013 at 10:12hrs
It looks like ZRP is the law in Zim ,no one can tell tell them what to do they do as they please .
