Residents Refuse To Obey Lockdown Restrictions

A lot of people in Bulawayo on Wednesday ignored the new lockdown regulations which, among other things, stipulates that non-working sections of the population should stay at home.

The regulations were announced by President Emmerson Mnangagwa during a televised national address on Tuesday.

However, residents filled Bulawayo central business district and public areas in residential suburbs, defying the regulations which took effect yesterday.

Unregistered informal sector operators and illegal money changers were operating in the city centre as usual.

Security forces were apparently not thorough in enforcing announced measures especially on people travelling on private vehicles and those walking into town.

Bulawayo police spokesperson Inspector Abednico Ncube said they have increased deployment of officers to enforce the new regulations and those who continue to defy the regulations will only have themselves to blame when they get arrested. He said:

Today we have been conducting campaigns educating the public about the need to adhere to laid down regulations. Hence, the public should not cry foul when they get arrested. Regulations should be followed without people making excuses.

Bulawayo Provincial Affairs and Devolution Minister Judith Ncube said complying with laid down regulations is not for Government’s benefit but citizens’.
