Police confiscate radios in Gwanda
Bulawayo Agenda

November 18, 2010

Gwanda - Police have been given a directive to confiscate small winding radios in a move that has seen members of Gwanda Agenda being questioned by the police on where the radios are. One Tymone Gumbo's radio was confiscated. Gumbo is from ward 21 in Gwanda (Coleen Bawn) where the Gwanda Agenda Chairperson resides. It is also alleged that a Constable Mpala from the PISI department visited the Chairperson Jaston Mazhale at his residence today at 6:00 in the morning in search of the radio.

Bulawayo - The Daily Agenda is reliable informed that members of the police force have been provided with a bus to go for Christmas shopping to South Africa where they will enter with goods duty free. This has been as a campaign strategy because the gesture has been extended to police officers, their wives (known for selling wares along the street) and their immediate family member. It is in the hope that these people will return the favour by voting for Zanu PF in the upcoming elections next year in 2011. It is said that ZIMRA has already been told that any ZRP bus should not be searched.

Bulawayo - Youths are defiant that they will boycott a recruitment call by the Zimbabwe National Army. ZNA is in a recruitment drive in Matabeleland of which it has raised many eyebrows on why Matabeleland and why now? The youths are adamant in that they would rather go hungry than be used for political reasons. They also feel that it is a way of discouraging the youth from voting the opposition as it is known that the youth are the base of the opposition parties.
