Black people have often fallen victim to racial abuse from people of other colours. However, in an unfortunate instance reported in Zimbabwe, it seems the tables have turned.

In a rare incident in Borrowdale suburb in Harare, Zimbabwe, a white person, Kyle Dakers, reported that they were racially attacked by a black man out of nowhere.

The victim shared the following:

Good evening my good people
I’ve just been slapped in borrowdale by some guy for no reason ! ….. He slapped me through the car this is at Pomona valley just a few minutes ago. Can I get some help !
People we’re coming at my family saying that we should go back to London honestly what is it with racism half my friends a Zimbabwean actually I am a Zimbabwean!!!!
What is surprising or different about this attack is that its not often that white people experience racial prejudices. Most movements that are aimed at addressing issues of segregation are often pioneered by black people. Think of the Black Lives Matter movement which the New York Times stated that it may just be the largest movement in US History. Black people, even in Africa, resonated with some of the sentiments shared by black people in America even several years into the precolonial era.
When The Tables Turn
Although black people have experienced the effects of racism the most even after the precolonial era, their response towards this matter refreshing. Some black people rallied behind the victim whilst sharing the following sentiments:
“Very sad to hear that! This is unacceptable no matter what race. We should treat each other like human beings. We have experienced racism as a family for years and it’s not a good feeling. Let love and kindness lead. No human being has to be made to feel that way”
“This is quite appalling and upsetting behavior. This day and age such stlll exists!! It’s a pity some of our minds need to reform.
So sorry for your experience.”
While some people ruled off that this might have been a thief, this behaviour might not be surprising if it is coming from someone who might have experienced the effects racial segregation themselves.
This shows that there is a need for reconciliation and healing measures to be afforded those with such experiences. This is the approach that the government is taking towards those that suffered as a result of the Gukurahundi Massacres.
Kyle Dakers resorted to take some of the advice he received and proceeded to report the matter. He shared his appreciation for those who helped in the following post:

We hope the issue is resolved soon for the greater good.

Remember that viral video of a Borrowdale driver who ran over a child and didn’t even stop? Well, thanks again to the collective effort of Zimbabweans on social media who shared the video, the driver was finally caught. If you hadn’t watched the video you can do so here.

As shown in the video, a driver hit a child at the traffic lights Corner Borrowdale Road and Harare Drive. This driver had the audacity to speed on without stopping. Fortunately they were caught in action on CCTV camera.

The driver, who has been identified as Herbert Chakanyuka appeared before Harare Magistrate Tendai Muchini. Following his guilty plea to negligent driving and failure to stop at the accident scene he was given a fine of $15 000. The $15 000 was split as follows; $5 000 for failing to stop at the scene and $10 000 for negligent driving.

This arrest was not the first that took place following the collective effort of sharing the related video on social media until it grabs the attention of the relevant authorities. Last week alone two robbers who had tormented the Ruwa, Damofalls area were caught after a video in which they were caught red-handed went viral on social media.

This afternoon a motorist ran into a pedestrian at the intersection of Borrowdale road and Harare Drive. The driver of the vehicle had the audacity to continue along their journey without stopping as if nothing had just happened.

Zimbabweans are distraught over this incidence and are encouraging the public to circulate the video as much as possible until it reaches the necessary authorities equiped to deal with such crimes.

Watch the video below:

Zimbabweans currently have faith that if the video goes viral the driver will be caught and dealt with accordingly. These high hopes were ignited by the arrest of four touts who were caught in a viral video harassing a woman at a bus terminal in Beitbridge. The Zimbabwe Republic Police revealed that it was the public that had helped them identify and catch these touts as a result of the circulation of the related video.

If this video reaches the same level of virality it will be highly expected to reach the Police and have the offending driver of the hit and run vehicle captured.

Any thoughts?
