Hello All,

I decided I needed some amusement, so visited the Zimbabwe Government Official website! I found some interesting stuff on there - like the "ZRP Service Charter" I have provided a link to it below - and cut and pasted it into my blog - And I review it in the current context. On the face of things - it looks like quite a reasonable charter - of course, unfortunately, it does not apply to Mugabe's police!

Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP)

SERVICE CHARTER ZR POLICE

We are committed to providing:
The most effective and efficient service
Professionalism in our dealings with the public
Accountability and transparency in our operations
Diligency and courtesy in the discharge of our duties

Effective and efficient - I wonder what part of effective and efficient relates to the response you get as a member of the MDC???

Professionalism? I am staggered! How can you be professional with Chihuri, a law breaker himself, as Commissioner?

Accountability - Perhaps here it will be pertinent to point out that whilst this clearly is lalaland talk in the current state of affairs within the force - there will be the day when officers will be called to account for their actions!

Diligency??? - Is that a word?


HONESTY AND INTEGRITY IS OUR MOTTO

A motto eh?? This is a comedy!

*TOGETHER WE CAN FIGHT CRIME*


HOW CAN YOU HELP

Supply any information you think can solve a crime - provided the accused is MDC, or if not, just invent something!

Report to the nearest Police station anything suspicious - As long as it is MDC, it is suspicious!

Join/support the local neighbourhood watch committee - Here you must be totally unsuitable as a police officer, but provide lots of money and stuff to the police.

Use suggestion boxes or hotlines - erm.. the hotlines are out of order, and the suggestion boxes have been vandalised!

Assist the police when they are making an arrest (Do not hinder them) - Arrests only apply to MDC members - crime is not a pre-requisite, however.

When you are dissatisfied with our service please advise the Officer In Charge and if you are still unhappy advice the Officer Commanding District/Province and finally the Commissioner Of Police. - This is so we can clearly identify you. Of course, the Officer in Charge is never available, the Officer Commanding will never be interested and the Commissioner is actually the architect of the anarchy!


I have just been watching the BBC news - reports covering Mugabe in Egypt! Well, of course, the reporters never got near Mugabe, but George Charamba, was quite defensive and angry. Showing all the signs of desperation - he described Mugabe as a "Head of State" - actually George, he is not. He is just a tin pot dictator. I am glad, however, that your racist views came through quite clearly - in the new Zimbabwe, I will be pleased to deal with you - in accordance with the law. That will be a most uncomfortable time for you!
