It's Mafume's job After being given the option to do community service, a criminal told the magistrate that cleaning the city is the responsibility of the Harare City Council.
Bernard Hwete, also known as Liquid Yonke, is back in prison less than two years after finishing a previous sentence in March 2024.
This time, he was convicted of theft after an incident during a night out in Harare. Hwete says he met a woman who took him to a nightclub, where she stole an iPhone from another customer. He then took the phone from her, which led to trouble when she reported him to the police.
He tried to settle the matter by offering her US$40, but the deal failed after she learned the phone was worth much more.
Hwete was given an option to do community service, but he refused, saying cleaning should be done by the city council.
He was sentenced to 12 months in prison, with 5 months suspended.
Cleaning the streets is for Jacob Mafume, who's already paid to do it, but doesn't do it
In prison, you get free food, free rent, and you get away from hama dzekwa baba that pretends to love you..
The gentleman weighed in his options very well
