At least 33 Zimbabwean senior company executives spent the weekend in police cells for paying lip service to the government directive to slash prices, The Herald reported on Monday.
The directors are expected to appear in court today while another 1,328 shop owners, managers, sales representatives and companies had been fined for flouting price controls.
Police said they had acquired enough resources to sustain the crackdown on errant businesspeople and companies until the price madness was tamed.
Police spokesperson Chief Superintendent Oliver Mandipaka said dockets for the 33 managers who were arrested throughout the country since Friday were now complete.
"We are also hunting for others who fled from their companies. We have enough resources to last the distance. We have the manpower and the resources to stretch as far as it takes us until sanity prevails.
"We expect that the courts will complement the crack unit''s efforts by meting appropriate punishment on these people," he said.
