The Evil Extortion Epidemic (TARIF 229)

In Zimbabwe and across much of Africa, citizens often fear the very authorities meant to protect them. Police extortion, bribery, and corruption have become so normal that people instinctively avoid law enforcement. But what does Scripture say about such evil? In this episode, we expose the spiritual roots and devastating effects of extortion—from impoverishing the hard-working to eroding trust in authority. Drawing from John the Baptist’s call to repentance and Paul’s teaching in Romans 13, we confront this sin head-on and explore what true justice and humility before God look like. Corruption may thrive—but its end is certain.
