Kwekwe Residents Defying Lockdown Restrictions  - Kwekwe Mayor

The Kwekwe Mayor Angeline Kasipo has revealed that Kwekwe residents are ignoring lockdown restrictions and further denied rumours circulating that at one point she had to call the army on the non-compliant residents.

Speaking to New Zimbabwe the MDC Councillor said:

As a local authority, our concern is to ensure awareness, prevention and cure..Compliance is generally very low amongst the residents in Kwekwe, not only in the Central Business District but also in residential areas such as Mbizo which is the largest residential area in Kwekwe

I never at any time mentioned soldiers, the army or the need to bring in (unleash) the army,

Her reports on the residents not adhering to the lockdown restrictions were further confirmed by  Anti-Corruption Trust of Southern Africa (ACT-SA) which said it was receiving tip-offs of police officers taking bribes from lockdown defiants to look the other way.
