ZRP Now Using "Unpopular" Water Cannons To Fight Coronavirus
Zimbabwe Republic Police are reportedly using the infamous water cannons to fight the spread of the novel coronavirus.
The police previously used the cannons to sprinkle water on citizens particularly those who would be gathered to demonstrate against the government.
The Israeli-made water cannon were however deployed this Friday to disinfect empty informal markets and bus ranks in Harare’s Mbare township near the city centre, as well as the exterior of a block of residential flats.
National police spokesperson Assistant Commissioner Paul Nyathi told Reuters that the force had partnered with authorities to use their cannon to clean highly-populated areas of the capital Harare. He said:
Besides providing security for the nation, the police have decided to partner local authorities to (disinfect) certain areas taking advantage of the lockdown as we join the fight against the coronavirus.
