POLICE in Bulawayo have arrested a suspected donkey-meat
seller, who had allegedly stolen the beast, slaughtered it and sold the meat to
unsuspecting residents.
Bulawayo acting police spokesperson Inspector Abednego
Ncube confirmed the arrest of Thulani Ncube (39) after he sold donkey-meat to
residents at St. Peters in Pumula suburb, under the guise that it was beef.
“Thulani Ncube stole a donkey worth two thousand dollars at
St Peters and sold it to St Peters residents,” Inspector Ncube said.
He was arrested last week on Thursday following a report
made by the residents.
One of the residents, Nonhlanhla Ndlovu, said the low price
at which the meat was being sold made them suspicious.
“The meat did not look like beef to me, and it was being
sold at a cheaper price compared to the meat in the butcheries, hence I did not
buy although others did,” she said. Newsday
