Government has assured the nation that their peace and safety are guaranteed, with the assurance coming as the country prepares to mark its 41st anniversary of Independence tomorrow.

Addressing journalists this morning, Home Affairs and Cultural Heritage Minister Kazembe Kazembe said people were free to conduct all lawful activities in a peaceful manner and taking into consideration the Covid-19 pandemic.

“Covid-19 knows no boundary, creed, status, or religion,” he said. “In this regard, Zimbabweans should observe and comply with the Government of Zimbabwe’s Covid-19 health and safety protocols.

“We can only fight this invisible enemy if we remain united as a people. May I reiterate His Excellency, President E.D Mnangagwa’s message that no gatherings will be allowed during this independence holiday.

“The public should continue prioritising the wearing of face masks, practicing social distancing and sanitisation at all times. Social gatherings which include churches and funerals should strictly observe the stipulated maximum of 50 people.”

Minister Kazembe said his ministry had implored Police Commissioner-General Godwin Matanga to ensure that the Government’s Covid-19 regulations were complied with.
