A Kwekwe councillor says he was assaulted by a female police officer on his way from council office where he had gone to alert city Director of Works John Mhike about a blocked sewer in his ward.
Councillor Washington Moyo was being accused of violating the country’s Covid-19 induced lockdown measures through movement without an exemption letter.
The police officer, Moyo said, told the city father bluntly that residents should learn to cope with blocked sewer during the lockdown period.
“I was assaulted by a police officer on my way from Civic Centre where I went to alert Engineer Mhike of the sewage which was causing unrest to residents due to continuous blockage,” Moyo narrated.
