    The structure below is one that you are driving to and from the Harare International Airport. Years ago it used to be guarded by military personnel, nowadays there are a couple to security guards who don’t seem too interested in what they are doing. This stretch of road was also a popular road block point for police or Zimra (Zimbabwe Revenue Authority) trying to catch out people coming off international flights and had managed to evade their counterparts at the customs lanes.

    Harare Central Police Station

    Getting arrested in Zimbabwe and being taken to any police station let alone Central is something you want to avoid at all costs. Guilty or not, once you are in a position where you are being taken to station, bribe them to get out of it. In most instances, the police are more than willing to take a few dollars to look the other way. Bribery and corruption is part and parcel of life in Zimbabwe.
