The Zimbabwe Republic Police will only set up security checkpoints for purposes of enforcing the national lockdown after the morning and evening rush-hours, that is, 6.30 am and 10 am and from 3.30 pm to 6 pm, respectively.

This comes after a police roadblock along Seke Road at the Hunyani River Bridge caused vehicular congestion stretching over a kilometre as motorists failed to travel to Harare during the rush hour.

The traffic congestion has also been witnessed in all other major roads leading to Harare Central Business District, with members of the public expressing outrage over the delays.
