“I am getting the issue from you but l will investigate and get back to you as soon as l get something,” said Goko.

However circumstances are that on February 10, 2019 at around 11am a team of six members from Police Genera Headquarters Internal Investigations visited a roadblock site along Matobo Road opposite Mtapa cemetery. 

The roadblock was being manned by Constable Manatsa, Sergeant Gwadaura, Constable Kachiputu, Constable Sithole, Constable Mastetlo, Constable Mahachi, and Constable Mapasure all from ZRP Mtapa Police Station.
