*Disturbing Extortion Scheme Targets Zimbabwean Mourners in South Africa*
A disturbing trend has emerged in South Africa, where police are allegedly targeting Zimbabwean migrants at funeral services. Mourners have been detained and forced to pay bribes, ranging from R1500 to R3000, to secure their release. This practice has left families traumatized during a time of grief.
According to witnesses, police officers wait outside funeral parlors, round up mourners, and force them into police vans. The detained individuals are then released after paying the demanded bribes. Migrants have described the police's actions as inhumane and deeply distressing.
This alleged extortion scheme has raised concerns about police conduct and the treatment of migrants in South Africa. The practice has added to the emotional burden of families already grieving the loss of loved ones.
The incident highlights the need for greater accountability and transparency within the police force to ensure that all individuals, regardless of their nationality, are treated with dignity and respect.
