MUTARE, Zimbabwe.(News of The South)- The love for liquor landed two men in trouble with the long arm of the law after they stole four bottles of Viceroy and Whiskey from Ok supermarket.
Tawanda Shumba (27) of Hwange and Lewis Moyo (27) of Victoria falls both who were deported from Durban after the xenophobic attacks on foreigners began in May.

It was the state case led by Shepherd Chavarika stating that the duo entered Ok supermarket at lunch time on June 14, and took two bottles of viceroy and 2 whiskey bottles and starched them in to their trousers.

Little did the duo know that they were being watched on the CCTV camera by OK CCTV operator Mr. Themba Ndebvu who tipped the security guards manning the entrance and exit points.

The duo then exited the supermarket only to be caught by the security guards.
In their defence the duo told Mutare magistrate Sekai Chiundura that they were deported from Durban during the Xenophobic attacks without money or anything to sustain them.

“We resorted to stealing your worship so that we could resale and make money, we were deported from Durban without money,”said the duo.

Magistrate Sekai Chiundura fined the duo US$30 each in default to serve 5 days imprisonment.
