Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>The Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) has banned the carrying of dangerous weapons in public areas in Gokwe and Kwekwe districts for the next three months.<\/p>\n

In a statement, Midlands provincial police spokesperson Inspector Emmanuel Mahoko said officers Commanding Police Gokwe and Kwekwe Districts have issued prohibition orders for the carrying of dangerous weapons in public areas.<\/p>\n

The prohibition order is a response to the rise in violent cases involving the use of dangerous weapons. Said Insp Mahoko:<\/p>\n

This is due to the increase of cases of violence using machetes, knobkerries, swords, knives, spears or daggers, catapults and other offensive weapons or other traditional weapons.<\/p>\n

Officers Commanding Police Districts are regulating officers for areas under them in terms of the law.<\/p>\n

The notices are issued in terms of section 4(1) of the Maintenance of Peace and Order Act Chapter 11:23.<\/p>\n

\u2026 Chief Superintendent Tsitsi Chikono issued a prohibition notice for areas under Gokwe District, running from 22 October 2021to 19 January 2022.<\/p>\n

Chief Superintendent Denford Maingire on the other hand issued the notice for areas under Kwekwe District, covering the period 18 October 2021 to 17 January 2022.<\/p>\n

He warned that those who fail to comply with the order will be arrested. Said Insp Mahoko:<\/p>\n

Any person failing to comply with such a prohibition shall be guilty of an offence and liable to a fine not exceeding level 5 or imprisonment for a period not exceeding six months or to both such a fine and imprisonment.<\/p>\n
