Study the security force notice addressed to the people of Maranke TTL and Mukuni APA. The clearest evidence in it that the villagers were placed under a curfew is the order that...
Acattle, sheep and goats were to be herded only by adults
Bno schools in the area would be allowed to stay open
Call stores and grinding mills in the area were to be shut down
Dno person was to move about from last light until 12 o'clock
Explanation
A curfew is a ban on movement between fixed hours, and the notice opens its list with exactly that: a human curfew from last light to 12 o'clock daily, with the same hours applied to livestock. The closed schools, stores and mills are collective punishments of a different kind, and the herding rule is about who may move, not when.
