These are Sata’s PF cadres that were given jobs as police officers without training. PF are a government of criminals.
What the hell was a taxi driver doing with 4Pin? At 01 in the MORNING? What kind of cashing does he make and to whom at that hour. I guy robbed his self. I know them Chimwemwe guys. Kukosa, mukati na kunse.
In zambia the law stipulates that a taxi hours are from 06:00hrs to20:00hrs.What was he doing at that hour,I bet he is just a pirater.Though I condemn the crime on the driver but both the driver and the thugs broke the law its time RTSA and ZP woke up.
Those chaps in the picture don’t appear to be genuine police officers to me. Could these be the militia? Just look at the improper dressing (cap). Are policemen allowed to wear their hats the other way round as if they are rappers?
@ Questionner: Good observations. It shows that Zambia has lost the whole corporate culture. Police, Army used to be the cleanest Civil servants you would ever see. Wonder if I would stop for such cops coz never know if they are thieves or genuine. Sad to see that no senior leader / PS would bring back morals. This is why they are not shy to drink and beg in uniforms. We have Gone backward.
who in his sane mind operates a taxi around 01:00 am in Zed. Stupid idiot he asked for it.
…..why beating about the bush..??…why not just say ‘robbed by police’…..
..this seem to be a cooked up story by the taxi driver….there was no such incident…if he really had the 4000, he just had to find a reason to keep it instead of offloading it to the owner of the taxi…
…with the large number of taxis on the market, its difficult to make 4000 in a month…
ZP has lost it all, when I was growing up, I was even wondering whether a Policeman goes to the toilet or eat from Public Places because they were held in high esteem but today they are everywhere in tarvens drunk, kachasu etc. The other day I saw a Police Girl in uniform being caressed by her boyfriend leaving me to wonder where Zabwino Palibe is going.
THE CHEAP AND STUPID NIGERIAN FILMS ARE AN INSPIRATION TO A LOT OF CRMIE WE ARE SEEING IN ZAMBIA.
THEY ARE FULL OF WITCHCRAFT, CRIME AND IMMORALITY.
AND THE SO-CALLED ACTING IS PATHETIC: YOU CAN SEE THEY ARE ACTING
