Last month twenty-eight Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) officers filed an urgent chamber application with the High Court challenging the legality of their transfer to various stations exceeding 400 kilometres from Harare.

The officers said they earn salaries less than $2 000 a month and the transport costs for each one of them exceed $20 000 and if they are to relocate, Commissioner General of Police Godwin Matanga and the Police Service Commission should provide financial assistance.
