Member of the Police Portfolio Committee and member of the Democratic Alliance Dianne Kohler Barnard said Mbalula was out of order and should pay for violating the suspects’ rights after police cable-tied their hands and forced them to lie face down for hours.

Zanu PF’s Grace Mugabe could be well positioned to take over from her husband‚ President Robert Mugabe.
