POLICE CLOSE BEITBRIDGE BORDER POST

                                                                      .......AS PROTESTERS SWAM IT.

ARE YOU AWARE that the ban on imports by Patrick Chinamasa is about to cause a revolution and poses as a rude awakening to the regime that has thrived on oppression? Beitbridge was brought to a standstill today when people showed their displeasure. 

We have few snaps from the Border and hope to share more later. If you are travelling across Beitbridge, you need to be vigilant and be on the aware as the situation may turn nasty. We know how our officers react when instructed to descend on civilians. 

We hear the border is literally closed down as of lunch time....the police are in control. They are armed to teeth,they are angry too (banks have no money). This sounds like a new revolution.

The Communique reads as follows: 

Police in Beitbridge have refused to clear a demonstration planned by residents to protest over the recently introduced ban of importation of a wide range of goods,including groceries and building material,from SA without permits. Beitbridge residents met 2 days ago and resolved to take to the streets to voice their anger at the move by the government,which is likely to leave thousands of families in the border town without any source of income since survival in the border town is hinged on cross-border activities. Residents have however resolved to defy the police and go ahead with the protest. Those who are committed to take part in the protest,meeting point is Dulibadzimu Bus Terminus @ 8:00 this morning (1 July 2016).

Lumumba arrested, then released after “F..k You Mugabe” outburst

Acie Lumumba

Insulting President Robert Mugabe and getting away with it is a taboo and unheard of in many years of the history of Zimbabwe. The country has seen people getting arrested for suggesting that Mugabe is old and he must retire and leave politics for the young ones to take the country forward.

Linkundla is stunned at observing that young politician, Acie Lumumba, a former Zimbabwe Youth Council leader was whisked away by police who took him in for questioning and released him after using an “F” word insulting His Excellence, Head of State about the state of his head amidst the crunch situation Zimbabwe is going through at the launch of his Viva Zimbabwe political party .

 His bravery is scary and could be applauded for a young politician to stand up and challenge the biting situation the country is going through, however the way police dealt with him afterwards shows that it was a well planned prank aimed at testing the gullibility of the people with an intention to lure the young voters who might be anti status quo.
