Three cops got busted running a discount fingerprinting side hustle out of a basement. Kevin Mareyanadzo, Likwa Moyo, and Vongai Munapo faced the Harare Magistrates’ Court for abuse of duty allegations. Magistrate Jessie Kufa released the trio on bail, costing one hundred fifty dollars each, while setting their next appearance for February.
Prosecutors claim the Zimbabwe Republic Police Harare Provincial Anti-Corruption Unit acted on intelligence regarding suspicious activity near Mayor Urimbo Terrace. Agents raided the parking area at Customs House, where they allegedly discovered Mareyanadzo processing six civilians who were filling out clearance forms.
Those witnesses reportedly told investigators that the officer demanded ten bucks per head for the service. A quick search of his vehicle supposedly revealed do-it-yourself biometric kits, along with stacks of completed records that had ostensibly been vetted already.
Questioning led the primary suspect to name his colleagues Moyo and Munapo as accomplices. The investigation highlighted that Mareyanadzo actually worked out of Dzivarasekwa Police Station rather than Harare Central, where the shady operation took place.
