Watch out for the law
September 6th, 2007
A long queue was forming at the OK Store in Bulawayo as a limited amount of the exceedingly rare commodity, sugar, was on sale in small quantities. It wasn’t long before a few police officers entered the store to ascertain the cause of excitement of the growing crowd. On discovering that sugar was on sale the police officers pushed in ahead of the queue and demanded to be served. At this point the assistant manager intervened. Politely but firmly he informed the members of the ZRP that they would have to take their place in the queue like everyone else. There was a murmur of approval from the waiting crowd who overheard the conversation.
The officers however were livid. They stormed out of the store after telling the manager in no uncertain terms that he would pay for his impudence.
A short while later another small contingent from the ZRP was observed entering the premises. They walked up and down the aisles for a few minutes and then demanded to see the manager. When he appeared they produced a bottle of face cream on which had mysteriously appeared a new price tag indicating a price in excess of the maximum decreed by the price commission. The assistant manager was promptly arrested for over-charging customers and taken by the ZRP members to the Donnington police station where he was detained overnight.

“His reputation for courage and integrity remains intact.” Blessed be my brother – my soul rejoices for Pius Ncube, a child of God and my brother in Christ. Thanks for the touching words you have used to describe this brave innocent child of God. Zimbabwe will and shall be free of this dictator very soon!
