Sajenti Alois Mabhunu aswekwa lupango baada ya wenzake kumchongea!
Policeman arrested for using Mugabe's toilet
May 27, 2011 8:36 AM | By Sapa-dpa
A Zimbabwe policeman has been in detention for two weeks after he used a toilet specially reserved for President Robert Mugabe's use.
Handcuff
Sergeant Alois Mabhunu, a police homicide detective in the western city of Bulawayo, was on surveillance duty a fortnight ago at the annual Zimbabwe International Trade Fair when he received an urgent call of nature, local radio station VOP said.
He rushed to the first toilet he could see, which happened to be a privy being guarded for Mugabe's use during his appearance at the show. Police guards tried to block Mabhunu's access, but he fought his way through and locked himself in, VOP said, quoting from a police charge sheet.
Having relieved himself, he left and resumed his duties. But the toilet guards reported the incident, including to the secret police, and he was arrested the next day.
Mabhunu was being held in a police detention barracks outside Bulawayo and was due to appear on Friday before a police disciplinary hearing, VOP said.
Police spokesman Mandlenkosi Moyo refused comment, saying it was an "internal matter".
Human rights lawyer Beatrice Mtetwa questioned what offence Mabhunu was being charged with.
"There has to be a law saying the toilet is the president's, but this was a public one. They will have had to issue a proclamation in the government gazette specifying it. I bet they didn't do that."
