Two women caused a stir in Harare’s central business district after they were allegedly caught shoplifting at a local supermarket.
Eyewitnesses say the situation quickly escalated when members of the public intervened, leading to the women being smeared with water and flour — a controversial form of public shaming that has sparked debate online.
The incident has since gone viral, with many questioning whether such actions are justified or if they cross the line. Authorities have not yet released an official statement.
