Today Lawyer Obey Shava of ZLHR won a case at High Court where he was fighting constitutionality of roadblocks where people are being asked to produce IDs and letters from employers before being allowed to pass. The court agreed with him that it is unconstitutional to demand letters and IDs on roadblocks. People must move freely.

The court also noted that the police had no power to make any laws or regulations, theirs is to enforce existing laws. The requirement to produce letters and IDs is not part of any existing laws and it’s repressive.
