A Bulawayo Cell phone thug was at the weekend given a “thorough bashing” after he was caught in the act pick pocketing a cellphone from a woman, before handing it over to an accomplice who fled with the gadget from the scene.
The unidentified cellphone robber was then forced to eat a humble pie, after he agreed to help the victim to recover her handset from his accomplice, who had already gone with the handset. The thorough bashing from the surrounding mob left him pleading for mercy.
“Please lingangibulali ifoni yenu iyaphenduka, ngiyacela bantu – please don’t kill me your phone is going to be recovered”. The unidentified thief began to the sizeable crowd as it delivered instant justice on him.
He was captured being whisked away to the nearest police post, but not before he was given a few more bashes, soon after losing his teeth, after receiving several kicks from the mob.
It is a serious crime to take the law into one’s hands by attacking an accused person but efforts to obtain a comment from the crowd on why they were choosing to break the law, were fruitless as emotions continued to rise against the accused.

The police also need a beating by the people for all the theft they are involved in at road blocks and other locations. Zimra officers are the worst.

True. on the other hand take him to the police who will receive a $5 bribe and he goes. it is the mob justice that deters these thieves more than the fear of arrest.

Without the gadget on his person, mbavha dzekumba will never agree to the crime.
Encourage them to confess then go kumapurisa

One thing which this crowd doesn’t know is that they can end up killing that man and it will then be a murder case. We should learn to hand over those thieves to the police without causing harm on them. Instant justice at times backfires.
