Another politician drops by a prison with goodies. Color me shocked.
This time, it was Fisani Moyo, the MP for Gwanda-Tshitaudze, showing up at Gwanda Prison. He handed the officer in charge, Superintendent Ishmael Madzimbamuto, a thousand bucks. That cash was for buying a big drum of cooking oil and a cow for the inmates to eat on Christmas. He also gave them a hundred kilograms of rice. The local mayor, Thulani Moyo, was there too and decided to pay bail for some prisoners who couldn't afford it, supposedly to help with overcrowding.
The MP said he just wanted to spread some holiday cheer. He mentioned that learning about their problems, like needing cooking oil, prompted the donation. He thinks supporting inmates is part of helping them get better. The mayor added that paying bail was about giving people a fair shot at dealing with their legal issues.
