Harare, Zimbabwe (News of the South) – Activist group Tajamuka/Sesjikile has ordered the Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) to end the multiple roadblocks which the group has described as bogus and illegal.
Though not specifying and stating any explicit retaliatory action Tajamuka has given the police until 19 June to “put its house in order”
In a statement released, the group says police spokesperson Assistant Charity Charamba has been in the media “admitting that there are bogus police officers mounting illegal and unlawful roadblocks countrywide”.
“Citizens have long complained about endless roadblocks being mount all over the place leading to the slow down of traffic and loss of thousands of dollars of citizen’s money to fake roadblocks”
“The high court declared spikes to be unlawful and unreasonable use of force against peaceful and law abiding citizens”
“We cannot accept spikes anymore”
“The Zimbabwe Republic Police are given up to the 19th of June 2017 to put their house in order and to bring to an end of these unlawful and bogus roadblocks”.
“Motorists are urged to not to cooperate with fraudulent roadblocks”, it said.
The move by Tajamuka echoes the recent news by President Mugabe who also stated that there are currently too many roadblocks on the country’s roads.
Tourism Minister Walter Mzembi has also been in the news complaining that the number of roadblocks was impinging negatively on the tourism industry.
