It emerged in court that the 19 caused public unrest in a
revenge attack against unknown assailants who had assaulted two of their colleagues
at Copacabana terminus.
The court proceedings also shamed those who hijacked the
case and suggested it was linked to the politics surrounding the harmonised
elections set for tomorrow.
The 19 are all stationed at ZRP Mkushi Academy.
They were armed with sticks and other unknown objects when
they went on the rampage and indiscriminately attacked members of the public.
Some people attacked by the rogue recruits sustained
injuries which required medical attention.
The police condemned the actions of the recruits and
assured the public that appropriate disciplinary action would be taken against
them.
Police bosses emphasised that such behaviour was not
tolerated in the service and promised to continue striving to maintain law and
order.
The incident caused concern and outrage among the public,
who expressed their anger on social media platforms.
They called for the recruits to be held accountable for
their actions and for justice to be served. H Metro
