From Farai Maguwu Facebook|On Friday I entered an OK Supermarket in Masvingo at around 1830 hours. This guy suddenly entered the packed supermarket and started screaming ED Pfeeee, Pfeeeeeee, pfeeeeeee Pfeeeeeeeeee Pfeeeeeeeeeee. He was jumping up and down as if something had possessed him. This went on for 7 – 10 minutes. But I noticed something that really troubled my soul. Almost everyone in the supermarket, with the exception of 2 other subdued young men with him, were looking at him in disgust and horror. They politely told him with their facial expression that he was out of touch with reality. I saw one elderly man who went very close to him and looked at him with a holy scorn At one point this seemingly demented guy grabbed a supermarket trolley with groceries and lifted it up with his teeth. After grabbing my items I went to the counter and everyone’s head was turning to this guy. One young lady whispered ‘I am sure if you visit his home his family is starving, they survive nemaricho’. The gloom in that Supermarket was telling. ZRP officers in the queue were clearly nauseated. They never wanted to look at him, knowing they had a duty to protect the shoppers from this apparent criminality. Some were just softly shaking their heads in protest.
What was also very notable was the aura of fear or rather terror among the shoppers and even the shop security. Whilst it was clear this guy was breaking the law and could be charged for being a public nuisance and could have been reported to the Police who were in the Shop, no one dared take action.
I then asked myself, If ED won Masvingo so resoundingly, how come the people were so dejected at the mention of pfeeeeee. I also think if the popular candidate had been pronounced the winner, even nurses and doctors in hospitals were going to celebrate with their patients. There was going to be continuous horning on our highways as was the case when Mugabe signed that famous resignation letter.
ZANU PF broke the 8th Commandment of the Torah which explicitly says ‘Thou Shalt Not Steal’.
