> The workshop commenced on 13 February 2023 and is planned to end on 26 February 2023.

> All officers in Masvingo district are required to attend the workshop, so the stations are left with a skeleton human resource base to cover critical points and react to emergencies.

> Hence, considering the expected number of people who are to attend versus the available skeleton manpower we cannot currently manage.

> NOW, THEREFORE, I as the Regulating Officer do hereby issue this prohibition notice in terms of section 819) of the Maintenance of Peace and Order Act [Chapter 11.23], prohibiting the holding of a public meeting scheduled for 12/02/2023 at Dewure Business Centre, ward 35 Gutu Central Constituency from 1000 hours to 1600 hours.
