As the 44th Ordinary Session of the SADC Heads of State and Government Summit commences, the Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) has issued a statement assuring the nation of a safe and secure environment. 

In a recent update shared on their social media platforms, the ZRP urged citizens to continue with their daily activities without any concerns about safety.

The ZRP firmly dismissed these claims as false and urged caution against spreading misinformation. They have made it clear that legal action will be taken against those responsible for disseminating false news. 

Commissioner Paul Nyathi emphasized that the law will be applied impartially as investigations into the rumors proceed. 

“The Zimbabwe Republic Police informs the nation that as the 44th Ordinary Session of the SADC Heads of State and Government Summit proceeds, the security situation is peaceful,” stated Commissioner Nyathi. “The public should feel free to conduct their day-to-day socio-economic activities. The Zimbabwe Republic Police dismisses social media postings alleging that there has been a road traffic accident involving an escort motorbike or a clash between the Police and the public in Harare. The Police warn those using social media platforms to spread false or fake news that the law will take its course without fear or favor as investigations unfold.”
