President Emmerson Mnangagwa has deployed soldiers to takeover the enforcement of lockdown orders amid reports that the police have failed to curtail movement of people.

This was also confirmed by Presidential Spokesperson George Charamba who tweeted that the boys had been deployed to locations and suburbs to deal with those drinking beer on the street and loitering instead of following orders which requires people to stay at home.

“MaFACE angu ekumaGhetto, kindly note that pranks and drinking sprees in streets this evening will come to grief!!!! THE BOYS ARE BACK IN TOWN!!!!!!!,” said Charamba tweeting on his Jamwanda2 account.
