By A Correspondent- The Zimbabwe Republic Police said they will not listen to any excuses from people they would have met after 6 PM.

National Police spokesperson Assistant Commissioner Paul Nyathi announced this to The Sunday Mail yesterday

“We urge Zimbabweans to follow the lockdown measures and wear their masks properly, if they don’t, we are going to arrest them,” he said.
“For those who are opening beer halls and nightclubs, we are not going to show any mercy to them.

“Like for instance, last night police officers on patrol in the Harare CBD arrested scores of people who were drinking at beer halls and nightclubs.
“People must follow and respect the curfew.
“Lately, we have been having problems with people who are giving us unnecessary excuses. For example, some say they are coming from work at around 10pm.

“We will not listen to such petty excuses but we will understand if they are providing essential services or transporting commercial cargo.”
