A kombi driver, Tinashe Madzima (31), and his conductor, Ishmael Gonyora, were arrested on Wednesday at George Shopping Centre in Ruwa on charges of bribery. The arrests came after a recent crackdown by the Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP), which followed the detention of two police officers, Sergeant James Chifamba and Constable Trymore Mukunza.

The officers had been implicated in a viral video circulating on social media, which showed them accepting bribes from pirate kombis, taxis, and registered public service vehicles along the Harare-Mutare Road, near the Mabvuku turn-off.
