The Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) has warned people using President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s name to engage in criminal activities, duping members of the public.
In an unfamiliar statement on Saturday, the police said the alleged unnamed criminals would be brought to book.
“The Zimbabwe Republic Police has received numerous reports of criminal acts being committed by suspects who are openly abusing His Excellency, President E. D. Mnangagwa and the First Family’s names in extortion, fraud, theft and other related criminal acts,” read the police statement.
“The suspects are duping members of the public who include individuals, business people and companies on the pretext that they would have been tasked by the First Family or His Excellency, President E. D. Mnangagwa to fundraise or collect money for various activities which include dinner dances, workshops, land sales and other criminal activities.”
The law enforcement organisation added that the alleged criminals included but not limited to land barons in Harare and outside.
“The Zimbabwe Republic Police strongly warns these individuals or groups that the law will take its course without fear or favour.
“Arrests are being effected and these include some land barons in Harare, Banket and other towns who are openly abusing His Excellency, President E. D. Mnangagwa’s name for personal gain.
“Some criminals are extorting and confiscating property which include vehicles, land and cash for personal aggrandisement while taking advantage of His Excellency, President E.D. Mnangagwa’s name.” the police statement said.
Mnangagwa and his family however have been embroiled in successive scandals, Draxgate (Covid-19 supplies) and PomonaGate (Harare dumpsite) that have seen family friend Delish Nguwaya allegedly being used as cover for dubious multi-million dollar contracts.
A few weeks ago Mnangagwa ally, Gokwe Nembudziya MP Justice Mayor Wadjajena was arrested over allegations of money laundering involving US$5.8million.
He is a criminal too can’t they see
Nxxa
Birds of same further flock together
This is a big lie. ED has allowed Zanu pf apparatchiks to abuse state resources for a long time and now he is failing to reign them and is now claiming they are criminals. ZPF were criminals around Mugabe.
Police say ‘criminals claiming to be close to Mnangagwa causing havoc’ – Nehanda Radio – https://t.co/75meJSwI8e https://t.co/fKz0VUVDKb
This time we won’t be worried about ‘criminals around the president’..we want to deal with the president who is always around criminals
Jethro Takawira hapana panopfungaira chiutsi pasina moto he is a criminal aswell
Jethro Takawira When a president hides behind criminals the whole govt becomes criminals.lts time up for these criminals.
That becomes a national problem when a so-called President deliberately hibernates and looks away at national threats. Once the Police officers act they will practically be fired. Is it still difficult to vote for another party in Zimbabwe?

If multiple people go around claiming to be your wife’s boyfriend, it’s time to have a conversation with your wife, and not with all those who claim to know her….

It shows that he is in support of these criminals. Any police who tries to deal with these criminals will end up being in trouble him/ herself
Why are they hiding his name? They know all criminals under his name or ZANUPF are never arrested. Henrietta Rushwaya , July Moyo ,DJ health minister,Mudha, Wadyajena, all ZANUPF thugs who disrupt Parliamentary Committee meetings and those who threaten death on other people. Cases to consider
Close or not close simply arrest them rule of law. Unless if they say if u close u hav immune then we hav police n policing problem
That’s what you get when you have a criminal for a leader😒
He’s the benefactor of all this. Open up against the system and you’re gone.
Kombai tirove…he said it
Obvious they know the ancestor of corruption 🙄 😏
