Kadoma cops just put the brakes on folks carrying dangerous items around town for the next four months. They banned anyone from having spears, axes, swords, knives, or daggers because crime rates have jumped up lately. The police chief, Musiyalela Mwezi, announced this rule starts March 10 and runs through June 10, 2025. You cannot bring these weapons into any public area.
The rules apply whether you hide the weapon or carry it out in the open. This ban also covers having these items in your car. The police department made this decision after seeing many fights and public safety problems throughout the district. Anyone caught breaking these rules faces serious trouble with the law.
Punishment could hit your wallet hard with a Level 5 fine. The courts might also lock you up instead. Judges have the power to throw rule-breakers in jail for up to six months if they decide that fits the crime. They can even combine both penalties - taking your money and your freedom at the same time.
The police hope this temporary ban helps calm things down across Kadoma. Making weapons harder to access should reduce violent incidents and help everyone feel safer walking around. Local residents should remember that these rules remain active for the full four months unless police announce any changes to the current plan.
