Officer Commanding Harare Central District Chief Superintendent Jasper Chizemo invoked the Public Order and Safety Act (POSA) and banned the carrying of weapons such as catapults, machetes, axes, knobkerries, knives, swords, daggers or any traditional weapons likely to cause disorder and breach of peace.
Chizemo said the prohibition was in terms of section 14(1) of POSA Chapter 11:17 and said that the ban was done after they received notifications for public demonstrations from March 22, March 23 and March 25. He said the ban will start from March 22 and end on June 22.
