Former Norton Independent legislator Temba Mliswa says the Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) is now a mercenary unit which anyone can hire to fight on their behalf.
His comments comes after popular Zimbabwean podcaster Dj Ollah 7 real name Owen Madondo was arrested on charges of cyber bullying Mudiwa Hood. This is after he interviewed musician Holy Ten.
“The ZRP are reducing themselves into a mercenary unit which anyone can pay to fight private battles.
“We have seen the same with the Chimombe& Mpofu case.
“The easy target would be to say it’s politics but it’s not.
“It’s simply someone with money using it to wage a private battle,” he says.
Posting on his X handle, Mliswa condemned Ollah 7’s arrest, saying instead it is guest on the show who should have been arrested.
“Today I was at the Court in solidarity with DJ Ollah,who was unjustly arrested.
“At the very least the guest should be the one arrested not the journalist.
“We are currently experiencing a wave of monied people paying the police to arrest their supposed adversaries,” he said.
