Police in Mutare early this morning confiscated more than a
tonne of vegetables that were meant to supply hundreds of vendors at Sakubva
vegetable market, a direct disregard of the 21-day lockdown announced by
President Mnangagwa last week.
The vegetable market was closed down by council last week
as part of measures to curb the spread of the deadly Covid 19. Sakubva musika
is the busiest market in Mutare where hundreds of people converge everyday
risking infection. Acting on a tip off, police ambushed the farmers who had
already set up their wares by 2am waiting for buyers.
The Herald witnessed police loading the vegetables which
had been abandoned as soon as they realised they had been ambushed. Vegetables
that were confiscated included tomatoes, cabbages, green vegetables, lemons
among others. The active night life in
Mutare has been a cause for concern as the vegetables supplied to the Mutare
market come from all over the province making room for the spread of the
disease to other districts. Herald
