At the beginning of the video, the little children call the prophet crazy and they use Shona vulgar words against him as well. They proceeded to trash the prophet’s music and threaten to beat him up.

One would think at this point the prophet would be angry at the children but he calmly continues casually talking to the children. He probes further to find out more about their lives and then later advises them to stay away from drugs.

Although it’s hard to ascertain if the little children use drugs, they do acknowledge that they know of drugs like Crystal Meth popularly known in Harare as “Guka”. The children also used words commonly used by adults as opposed to simple words expected for their ages.

This video comes as a culture shock for many. Growing up back in the 90s children were taught to behave a certain way especially in public and towards their elders. Firstly approaching the car of a stranger could potentially get you in deep trouble with your parents, let alone have conversations leaning on their car.

Children were expected to use certain language when they spoke to elders like “Makadini” “Maswera sei” which mean how are you and how was your day in plural form. The plural form is used to honour the adult. Insulting an elder was a punishable offence and these children insulted the prophet with such ease meaning they are exposed to that on a daily basis.

Although many may argue that not much should be expected from children that grow up in tough neighbourhoods, it is the responsibility of every parent/guardian, regardless of location, to discipline their child. There are so many people that are born and grow up in high-density areas like Mbare, Mufakose, Kuwadzana, Highfields etc that are respectful and do well. If these children are talking and acting like this at a young age, how will they turn out when they are adults?

Diana, a 20-year old A-level student was convicted for arson and theft after she broke into her boyfriend’s house and stole academic certificates, a birth certificate, and a Samsung tablet. She then ran away after setting the place on fire.

Mbare Magistrate, Nyasha Vhitorini sentenced Diana to a wholly suspended 36 months for the two counts of arson and theft on the condition that she does not commit a similar offence in the next three years. This means she will not serve any time behind bars as long as she does not commit a similar offence within the next 3 years.

Diana justified her actions by saying she committed the offence because she was angry at Kudakwashe ( her boyfriend and complainant) for taking her virginity and dumping her.

This incident is an example of what happens when the education system is broken down. For years now students haven’t been learning much because of lockdowns due to the Covid pandemic, add to that teacher’s strikes as is currently being witnessed.

The time out of school and being unproductive may cause students to focus on other issues like socializing and dating. During the national lockdowns, we also witnessed the youth and young adults hosting house parties.

With the lack of resources for e-learning and few classroom learning hours, many children may have to repeat their grades because it is difficult to pass exams without sufficient knowledge.

The fact that Diana is 20 and still in Form 6 means she probably had to repeat in the past. This incident is not only a sign of moral decay but it also reflects the current continuously degrading state of the education system.

Everything that wasn’t a legal structure was destroyed in a bid to clean out the city. However, not everyone was happy with this move. In a country were the rate of unemployment is high, most Mbare residents depended on vending for their livelihoods. Now that the demolitions took place, most people are stuck.

Others have openly stated that they will be returning to their previous careers. A man was recorded warning people that thieves will now be returning full force since their source of livelihood has been stripped.

Whatever your opinion on this is, the fact of the matter is that the general public has expressed disappointed at the rowdy behaviour that such officers displayed. The public’s cries seem to have been heard and a letter was shown in which the Officer Commanding Police of the Mbare District addressed this issue.

The letter highlighted that the Headquarters had been watching with growing concern as officers continued to adopt rowdy law enforcing methods such as the aforementioned. Necessary punitive measures were promised to officers of the law who are caught applying these methods.
