ZRP speaks on image of damaged police car that has gone viral

The Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) has broken its silence over the image police vehicle that has gone viral.

Many took the image as a mockery of what has become of the country’s law enforcement agency. And others made it a subject for ridicule.

Apparently, ZRP in a statement set the record straight and thanked Zimbabweans for showing concern over condition of service.

In a thread of tweets, ZRP said:

The ZRP has taken note of the image of a ZRP Karoi Traffic motor vehicle registration number 358R which has gone viral on social media with the damaged windscreen covered with a black plastic sheet.

The public is advised that the vehicle was damaged while attending a scene in Karoi on 03/03/23. The photo was taken while the vehicle was parked at the station covered with the black sheet as it was raining.

The vehicle was subsequently repaired on 06/03/23.

The ZRP sincerely appreciates the public’s concern over the image.
