ZIMBABWE Republic Police (ZRP) Commissioner General Godwin
Matanga says demonstrations which are being planned by the opposition are
illegal and warned that law enforcement agents are ready to enforce the law.
The ZRP chief urged Zimbabweans to disregard
anti-government protests which are being planned by the opposition saying they
are illegal and not in line with COVID-19 regulations announced by President
Emmerson Mnangagwa.
“My advice on the so called demos is that people should
stay safe at their homes and observe all COVID-19 measures, the police will be
ready to deal with anyone found breaching the regulations,” Commissioner
General Matanga said.
Turning to enforcing Covid-19 regulations, the ZRP chief
assured the public that ZUPCO has been engaged to provide transport in line
with the current dusk-to-dawn curfew.
“For people who will be leaving their workplace after 15:00
hours, and find it difficult to secure transport, we are engaging ZUPCO so that
enough buses are availed to ferry people home on time to avoid being caught
during curfew times,” he said
The call for the public to desist from engaging in illegal
demonstrations comes at time some anti-government forces behind the protests
have been arrested and appeared in court, while more have are on the police
wanted list. ZBC
