Two Harare cops appeared in court yesterday after cameras caught them taking bribes from a suspect. Rudo Chirengendure and Nyasha Mupandira stood before Magistrate Mrs Marehwanazvo Gofa on charges of abusing their position. The court denied them bail as prosecutor Luckson Mhara plans to present more evidence tomorrow.

The officers worked at the Parkade rank near Nelson Mandela Avenue on April 18 when the incident happened. They patrolled the area looking for illegal money changers and street vendors. Someone filmed them secretly as they accepted cash to free a handcuffed woman arrested for breaking the law. After pocketing the money, they removed her handcuffs and let her go against their duties as law enforcers.

The video spread rapidly across social media during the Easter holiday. Prosecutor Lancelot Mutsokoti presented these facts in court. The officers face serious consequences for betraying public trust. Their actions directly violated their responsibility to uphold the law. The case has sparked outrage among citizens concerned about police corruption in the capital city.
