Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>The Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) has banned churches and other religious organisations\u2019 traditional night vigils and crossover services on New Year\u2019s eve.<\/p>\n

ZRP national spokesperson Assistant Commissioner Paul Nyathi said those who congregate in violation of curfew hours will be arrested.<\/p>\n

Zimbabwe is under Level Two lockdown and a curfew order is in place between 9 pm and 6 am.<\/p>\n

In recent days, some churches have been advertising all-night prayer meetings, cross-over sermons to commence on New Year\u2019s eve and spill over into 2022.<\/p>\n

Asst Comm Nyathi called on churches to lead by example in respecting the curfew order. He said:<\/p>\n

People know that we have a curfew running from 9 pm to 6 am which means no gathering is allowed after 9 pm.<\/p>\n

Police will therefore enforce the curfew order and anyone who violates it risks being arrested.<\/p>\n

There are no all-night prayers, all-night gatherings, crossover sermons that will be allowed this year.<\/p>\n

\u2026 Churches should also take COVID-19 preventive measures such as sanitisation when people enter the church, wearing of face masks and social distancing.<\/p>\n

Churches mustn\u2019t disregard these safety regulations.<\/p>\n

Asst Comm Nyathi implored members of the public not to be over-excited but to adhere to World Health Organisation (WHO) COVID-19 protocols and limit travels and stay at home.<\/p>\n
