A 32-year-old unemployed man from Glen View 7 has been sentenced to nine months in prison by the Harare Magistrates’ Court for impersonating a police officer.
The court was informed that Ishmael Madara, in full police uniform, stopped Victor Simbarashe Mudhara who was driving his maroon Mercedes Benz along First Street and Samora Machel Avenue in Harare. Madara accused Mudhara of using a mobile phone while driving and entered the vehicle, claiming he could “assist” with the matter.
Suspicious of the arrest, especially since his car windows were tinted, Mudhara suggested stopping at a nearby police checkpoint for verification. However, Madara insisted on driving to ZRP Harare Central, but attempted to redirect the car elsewhere and became aggressive, threatening to detain Mudhara.
Feeling threatened, Mudhara drove to ZRP General Headquarters to report the incident. When questioned, Madara failed to produce a police identity card and attempted to flee on foot. He was quickly apprehended and the counterfeit police uniform was seized.
