Full Text: ZRP Warns People Not To Participate In Illegal Gatherings Disguised As Church Prayers

The Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) has warned members of the public not to be hoodwinked into participating in illegal gatherings, which they say will be disguised as church prayers. In a statement issued via social media, the ZRP said

It has come to the attention of the Zimbabwe Republic Police that there are some individuals who are mobilising people to gather at certain public places without notifying the respective Regulating Authority in terms of section 24 of the Public Order and Security Act (Chap 11:17).

That notification allows police to make security considerations such that there is minimal interference with the rights of those who do not want to be part of such gatherings. We are therefore appealing to members of the public not to participate in unsanctioned gatherings which in most cases result in malicious damage to property, looting of property, interference with normal of flow of traffic in central business districts and resultantly disturbs the maintenance of law and order by the police.

Members of the public should not be hoodwinked into participating in politically inclined activities under the guise of church prayers in public places. In the same breath, those who are planning and mobilising people to participate in unlawful gatherings are being warned to desist from such acts and comply with the law.

Anybody found on the wrong side of the law will be arrested and dealt with according to the laws of the country.
