Mugabe Communist Crackdown: More shop managers arrested in Zim

WARNING: This is Version 1 of my old archive, so Photos will NOT work and many links will NOT work. But you can find articles by searching on the Titles. There is a lot of information in this archive. Use the SEARCH BAR at the top right. Prior to December 2012; I was a pro-Christian type of Conservative. I was unaware of the mass of Jewish lies in history, especially the lies regarding WW2 and Hitler. So in here you will find pro-Jewish and pro-Israel material. I was definitely WRONG about the Boeremag and Janusz Walus. They were for real.

Johannesburg – Another 33 shop managers were arrested in Zimbabwe at the weekend for overcharging or failing to display prices, Harare’s Herald newspaper reported on Monday.

Its website said the managers were expected to appear in court on Monday.

On Saturday and Sunday, police arrested the managers for En Bee, Vita City, Truworths, Nyamidzi Motor Spares, Red Star, Wright Rain, Food Chain Belvedere and TM Angwa Street, among others.

A price monitoring team put the shops under surveillance on Friday.

‘We are not out there to punish anybody’

This was the latest batch of retail managers to be picked up since the establishment of the Cabinet Taskforce on Price Control and Stabilisation.

Assistant police commissioner Bothwell Mugariri, who leads the task team, said police were concerned that some leading shops and pharmacies continued selling goods at old prices.

“We are not out there to punish anybody, but to ensure that all parties are protected,” he said.

“Our major concern lies on the plight of consumers, but we will try our best to as well help in the sustainability of manufacturing companies and retail shops.” – Sapa
