Zimbabwe's national police force disciplined three officers who assaulted a driver in Budiriro, Harare, after video evidence circulated widely online. The footage shows officers dragging and striking a man who appears not to resist. A female officer repeatedly slaps him as others restrain him by force.

Authorities condemned the behavior on Wednesday, October 29, and stated that the conduct violated professional standards. Officials did not identify the officers or detail their punishments. The statement urged drivers to obey traffic laws and avoid using profane language toward police personnel.

Citizens demanded transparency regarding the disciplinary process and accountability for the use of excessive force. Social media commenters questioned whether the officers would face criminal charges for the physical attack. Some praised senior traffic officials but criticized the routine disrespect shown by patrol officers at checkpoints across the country.
