Home Affairs and Cultural Heritage Minister Kazembe Kazembe has advised warned machete gangs to throw away their machetes as the long arm of the law will catch up with them.
Kazembe made the remarks while addressing Zanu-PF supporters in Mazowe Central at the 2018 election victory celebrations for Ward 10 councillor Chakabvepi Chinhema. He said:
If you have a machete, go and bury it underground because the police will leave no stone unturned to make sure that machetes have disappeared from the people.
People should be organised and carry out their mining activities with respect to the law. Where is this butchering coming from? So, I say if there are those here with machetes be warned that the long arm of the law will catch up with you soon.
Kazembe also condemned attacks on law enforcement agents by “MaShurugwi” following the hacking to death of a police constable in Kadoma recently.
Police have so far arrested nine suspects in connection with the police officer’s murder.
