In a statement acting Officer Commanding Lupane district, Superintendent Jadiel Mutepfe said carrying of axes, catapults, machetes, swords, knives and daggers in Lupane, Tsholotsho and Umguza, was prohibited until June 13. He said that traditional weapons were not allowed. The order was made in terms of the Public Order and Security Act (POSA).
Last year, police in Bulawayo effected a similar order which expired in November stating it had been necessitated by the volatile political situation after marches and demonstrations.
