Police in the populous suburb of Rujeko in Masvingo have
barred supermarkets from selling beer to the public, a move that has angered
many people.
Angry residents said that the Police ban is unlawful and
provocative. “We have nothing to do at home and we want to buy beer and
go and drink from our homes and I am shocked that Police here has banned the
supermarkets from selling us beer. This Police action is unlawful and very
disappointing.
“Police is promoting shabeens by so doing,” said a man who
declined to be named.
Police spokesperson for Masvingo, Chief Inspector Charity
Mazula however, told The Mirror in a telephone interview that supermarkets are
allowed to sell beer as long as people take the liquor home.
“It is allowed for people to buy beer from the supermarkets
and drink from home. What is not allowed is for them to drink from the streets
or in groups,” said Mazula. MasvingoMirror
