Zimbabweans from all walks of life have commended the Second Republic’s stance in putting a stop to crime in the country despite negative sentiments from the opposition party Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC).

The arrest of ZANU PF Central Committee member and former Bulawayo Youth Executive, Kumbulani Mpofu on 24 December 2022, has left citizens praising Government’s policy of ‘no fear or favour’.

A Gweru resident, Tafadzwa Shoko, expressed gratitude in the arrest of Mpofu whilst maintaining that this arrest is a sign that the Second Republic does not tolerate crime.

“I am happy that our Government has remained steadfast in its stance to curb crime and unruly elements such as Mpofu. This arrest is also a confidence booster for us as we go towards elections in 2023,” said the source.

Tinashe Motsi also said this move by Government is an indication that there are no sacred cows.

“I am happy because despite the rank that one can hold, the Second Republic has no sacred cows,” said Motsi.

A source from ZRP Shurugwi has also revealed that Mpofu’s arrest was as a result of a tip off from concerned ZANU PF members who caught wind of Mpofu’s shenanigans.

“We got a tip-off from concerned and well placed ZANU PF officials who indicated that the suspect and six other accomplices were on their way from Ansh Red Mine carrying a loot of 400kgs of gold loaded carbon. We can safely say that this arrest was as a result of a tip-off from members of ZANU PF.

President Emmerson Mnangagwa has on countless times warned both Government and Zimbabweans to desist from committing crimes warning that the law enforcement officers will not hesitate to take action.

Furthermore, President Mnangagwa implored the security and law enforcement departments to step up their efforts in order to curb the rampant scourge of crime that has currently gripped the country. Other prominent figures that have since faced punishment include former Minister of Labour and Social Welfare Petronella Kagonye, and former Deputy Minister of Agriculture, Douglas Karoro.
