The Zimbabwe Republic Police has arrested the four touts who were involved in the physical manhandling and harassment of a woman in a video which went viral recently. The incident occurred at Dulibadzimu Rank, Beitbridge. The touts will appear in court today, 31 March 2021.

The Police applauds all Zimbabweans for the co-operation and concern over the conduct of the touts. The public is urged to report all incidents of harassment by touts taking note of the location, date, time and the name of the bus company involved.

The Police would like to warn bus operators against employing touts as the law does not recognize their activities. Passengers have a right to board public service vehicles of their own choice without being manhandled or forced to board a particular bus or kombi against their will.

The Zimbabwe Republic Police has intensified surveillance and monitoring of all bus termini and ranks in the country. In this regard, the law will be applied without fear or favour.

There was a public outcry when the video went viral as people called on the police to act swiftly and sanitize the bus terminus to make it safe for defenceless people like her.
