Meanwhile, a “Twimbo” identifying himself as Kundai Kundai accused police of selective application of the law by targeting people from poor neighbourhoods for arrest while the well to do are allowed to move freely even past security checkpoints. He said:

All those people arrested are poor guys from the Ghetto, the rich guys are moving around even the police do nothing at roadblocks, they even use oncoming lanes.
