Police in Harare this morning are blocking human and
vehicular traffic into the central business district.
A survey conducted by The Herald shows that all major roads
leading into the city centre are heavily mounted by police and soldiers who are
ordering passengers back.
Combined security forces stationed at several checkpoints
at the intersections of Seke and Cripps Roads (Coke Corner), Simon Mazorodze
and Birmingham, at Harare Show Grounds, along Robert Mugabe Road at the Vehicle
Inspection Department, Pennywise Shops at Eastlea were turning away motorists
in private vehicles and conventional buses.
In the central business district police ordered the closure
of several businesses along Kaguvi, Cameroon Streets and the usually busy Gulf
Complex. National police spokesperson Assistant commissioner Paul Nyathi said
he was in a meeting and would get back to this reporter when called for
comment.
Meanwhile, Ministry of Information, Publicity and
Broadcasting Services secretary Mr Nick Mangwana, in a tweet, said: “Government
has not pronounced a change in Lockdown Regulations. We are still on Level 2
lockdown and permitted economic activity should go ahead.”
He said the police are only enforcing the pronounced and
gazetted Level 2 conditions. Herald
