*Cops Force Shops To Pay US$5 Daily Coronavirus Fee* *Follow Pindula on WhatsApp for daily new updates* https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029Va84dngJP21B2nWeyM3v?cq Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) officers are reportedly demanding a daily US$5 COVID-19 operating fee from business operators in Bindura, Mashonaland Central Province. The rogue police officers are targeting small businesses operating in the central business district and high-density suburbs of Chipadze and Chiwaridzo. ---------- Pindula is best experienced with the Android App. *Download APK here:* https://zero.pindula.co.zw/media/apps/apks/pindula23.apk _On Econet, Pindula does NOT use your data_ ---------- The shop owners do not have the proper local council and tax licences for operating and in some cases, they do not have infrared thermometers and hand sanitisers. Speaking to NewZimbabwe.com, a shop owner, Saymore Mhere, said: > Daily, the police officers come and collect US$5 per shop for us to operate because we do not have the infrared thermometers and necessary up-to-date operating licences. > As for bar owners, they pay using crates of variety of beers or US$40 per week. Now, had we bought the thermometers from the beginning; it will have saved us a lot but the issue was how to raise that amount at once. Mhere added that he approached senior officers at Bindura Central Police Station last week and even though they promised to investigate, the extortion continues. A vendor at Progress shopping centre in Chiwaridzo also claimed that they have to give the police officers $30 every day for them to be allowed to sell their vegetables. *More: NewZimbabwe.com* itel A50 now available on Pindula at $84 64GB storage, 2GB RAM. _ideal for light usage_ _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
