The Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) has allegedly refused to accept a donation of two vehicles, 15 bicycles and baton sticks from Norton legislator Temba Mliswa because of his fight with its boss Commissioner General Godwin Matanga.
Mliswa donated the vehicles which included a BMW 323i, a Toyota pickup plus 15 bicycles and baton sticks with the aim of aiding the fight against crime in his town.
Sources close to Open Parly indicated that the police refused the donations despite initially receiving them at a handover ceremony attended by Minister of State Minister for Mashonaland West, Mary Mliswa Chikoka.
“The donations were handed over to Norton Police last year but they had been parked all the time.
“The reasons is that ZRP seniors in Harare were not receptive of the donation due to the politics around Mliswa and how he has constantly accused the Commissioner General Matanga of being corrupt,” said a source.
It is further reported that the vehicles were returned to Mliswa late last year after spending months parked at Norton Police Station.
This week Norton Police Officer-In-Charge Zhanda informed Mliswa’s office to write withdrawal letters for the remaining bicycles and baton sticks.
This will facilitate the return of the remaining donations.
One Norton resident angered by this development said: “We have had many instances of reporting cases to the police and they don’t come citing a lack of transport.
“Now they get the cars for free and they refuse them because Mliswa is independent.
Commenting on the issue Mliswa said: “It is unfortunate that gestures which are meant for the community have to be blocked because of a few Govt officials with political vendettas. Norton police need support to deal with the high crime rate.”
Open Parly reported that Mliswa’s donations of vehicles were refused because of his constant fights with Matanga.
Mliswa, in 2020 accused Matanga of corrupt activities including inflating prices of police vehicles, flouting tender processes; and bribing Special Anti-Corruption Unit (SACU), and Magistrate Courts officials. He directed the matter to the Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission (ZACC).

Why baton sticks? So that they can beat up innocent people? The money spent on baton sticks should have bought more bicycles

Useless commission
Is ZRP allowed to do that, bcz that action means Godwin matanga is low at ZRP.
Donation to ZRP is donation to gvt not leaders of gvt institutes
Bruce Kamba not baton sticks then he talk too much like he donate 1000 vehicles
Tongai Mpunga police work requres batton lets face it,
Even the countries with esteemed democracy have police with batton sticks,
ZRP needs the cars, as such godwin matanga has neither the right nor legal obligation to refuse donations even from CCC
May you take the vehicles and give rural Hospitals akuna maAmbulances siya Zanu Police ifambe netsoka
Zanu will punish the rural infirmaries that will accept Mliswa’s donations.
Wilo Wilocious akuna punishiment ichapfuura what every citizen has gone through zvakafanana
Matanga owns ZRP all along thought its sovereign power resides in the whole body of the people
Apei kuCCC if the police don’t want them 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Iyewo temba unorwara uyu. Unovapa mabaton sticks nemabasikoro kuti vanyatsotitandanisa vachitirova
Saka vaMatanga vosafisa police yese nekuda kwe kuti ivo vanetsana naThemba. Not right.
