Masvingo City residents called on the police to increase night patrols and the local authority to install streetlights from Chevron Hotel to the roundabout and the road that passes through Ndarama High to Pangolin Shopping Centre to ensure their safety and security.
The call was made following two cases, one of murder and another of robbery, near Ndarama High School.
Speaking with TellZim News Masvingo Residents and Ratepayers Alliance (MURRA) spokesperson Godfrey Mtimba said the mentioned areas had increased cases of robberies hence the need for streetlight and police patrols at night.
“We urge the Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) to enhance night-time patrols throughout the city to protect residents from potential threats. Increased visibility will deter criminals and help reduce crime rates in Masvingo.
“We call on the city council to collaborate with the ZRP by installing streetlights along the route from Chevron Hotel, via the roundabout to Pangolin Shopping Centre, and extending to Exor. These areas have seen a rise in robberies, and without action, we risk losing more residents’ lives,” said Mutimba.
Residents also urged council to take action on the issue of stray dogs in the city. Following a recent incident in Harare where a pit bull attacked and killed a man, Masvingo residents called for council to shoot stray dogs and enforce regulations on dog ownership.
“We are concerned about our residents safety as the issue of stray dogs is yet to be addressed in the city. The major concern on this issue is that there are some types of dogs which are not human friendly and sometimes they are found on the streets risking residents’ lives,” said Mutimba.
Councillors also raised the issue of installing street lights at different areas around the city at a recent full council meeting saying that could help save lives.
