HCC suspensions expose heated tussling

THE suspension of eight municipal police officers at Harare City Council (HCC) has exposed serious fights at the local authority, where some senior managers are reportedly pushing the council to transfer traffic police duties to City Parking.

The eight officers were suspended pending disciplinary hearings on allegations of extorting money from motorists they arrested for traffic violations.

In interviews yesterday, some of the affected workers claimed that they had been unfairly suspended.
