The police need to be made to take off their uniforms as soon as they are off duty because this is not the case. They must leave the police station in civilian clothes.

I think there will be serious consequences.. Even believing in a police officer if so.. It’s like drunk driving. You can’t do that when you’re working. And it’s a shame esp kana nyika nyika dzakuona izvi

Policeman Zviriko is also human.

@Diziri;

I’ve never been that drunk, but I’ve been drinking since I was 19, what kind of alcohol gets you drunk like that.

Total disrespect for form and it’s pathetic. Such details should be released immediately, as even the DB will be the worst of resources and expectations
