Mandla Ngwenya is reported to have amassed a £150 889.00 fortune over six years stealing trousers from Marks and Spencer.
Mandla Ngwenya would steal trousers and wear them under his tracksuit bottoms. He would then claim refunds using forged receipts. Now he has to learn the hard way that crime does not pay.
Mandla is one of a number of Zimbabweans who have a taste for an expensive lifestyle which is not matched by the desire to work for it, and they end up turning to crime. Unless they think stealing is work…lol!
According to The Sun report,
“the BMW-driving crook, from Leeds, was told to pay back £150 889 amassed over six years of scams.”
Why is it that most Zimbabweans involved in crime seem to be based in Leeds??
Mandla will get 27 months extra jail unless he pays in six months. He was jailed for 18 months in March for conspiring to steal, plus 15 months in June for contempt after trying to move frozen assets.
Judge Roger Scott told Teeside Crown Court that:
“He (Mandla Ngwenya) is a devious criminal. He’s shown an ability to explain away money.”
Maybe Mr Gordon Brown should take these criminals and give them back to Robert….they have nice places for them in Zimbabwe and they educate them better in those places. I’m sure people like Mandla will be happy to spend their time there…..they will like it so much in there and they will never want to be send back again…lol! Crime does not pay.

A paranoid schizophrenic who strangled his wife has been given permission to study as a London black cab driver. The move to allow the wife strangler to drive black cabs has angered other drives who say this will affect their integrity.
But, I’m sure the most angry people will be the London cab users, angry at the officials for allowing murderers to drive taxis.
The wife killer was jailed indefinitely under the Mental Health Act in 2001 but was released in 2003.
He has been passed fit to study for the “Knowledge” following psychiatric tests. He is reported to have already been granted a Private Hire Licence.
Allowing murderers to drive black cabs or any other taxi service in London is surely not a wise idea and this exposes members of the public to great danger. This drive will be picking up vulnerable passengers….no wonder women are murdered by taxi drivers. What else can you expect when officials allow murderers to drive public transport?
So, the psychiatrists are so sure this man will not kill again? God help us!
One wonders how many more murderers, rapists and other criminals are driving the black cabs in London. And we thought they are subject to police checks, and also that criminals, especially murderers are not allowed to work with vulnerable people.
Trust the officials to keep you safe in London.

Highly ambitious League One club, Notts County are reportedly interested in signing Zimbabwe captain Benjani. Sven Goran Eriksson the new director of football at Notts County is reported to be making a daring late move to sign Benjani from his former club Manchester City in a club record deal.
Eriksson rates the hard working Benjani highly having worked with him at Manchester City. Eriksson reportedly made a move for Benjani, whilst Benjani has been in talks with Hull City, Portsmouth and Blackburn Rovers about a move.
Eriksson is reported to be interested in signing Benjani on a pay-as-you-play basis.
Benjani playing League One football after turning down a chance to play Premier League football with Hull City…lol! This must be a joke, I just hope it’s Eriksson dreaming. Benjani must be still good enough to be playing Sunday football at Notts County.

Tourists visiting Knowsley Safari Park can only watch as 140 baboons spring the lock and scamper up trees with anything from bras to boots.
The raids have now become so regular that keepers have issued an animal Asbo – or anti-social baboon order – meaning drivers with roof luggage are diverted outside the enclosure.
David Ross, safari park general manager, said: “When the first luggage box was broken into we didn’t really take an awful lot of notice – we just thought it was a one-off incident with a faulty box or lock.
“However, when the problem kept happening, it quickly became clear that the baboons had acquired an unfortunate new skill.
“Their technique involves the largest baboons jumping up and down on the box, flexing it until the lock bursts open, when the rest of the baboons pile in to see what they can find.
“Obviously, we’re well used to them helping themselves to the odd wing mirror or wiper blade, but this has taken things to a whole new level.”
Vana mukanya kufarisa kana kuti kungwarisa? Whatever way you see it these animals do know how to entertain themselves, trying on all that fashion underwear and swimsuits.

Hull City are reported to be interested in taking Zimbabwe captain Benjani on a season long loan from Manchester City.
The News of the World reports that Hull City boss Phil Brown wants Benjani to lead the attacking line at the KC stadium next season. With all the big names that have signed for Manchester City like, Carlos Tevez, Roque Santa Cruz and Emmanuel Adebayor, Benjani’s place is under serious threat.
But what are Benjani’s chances of playing premiership football if he stays on at Mancester City?
I think Benjani will be better off if he moves to Hull City, at least he will get the chance to show off his talent.

The British government has pledged £5 million aid to Zimbabwe. British Prime Minister Gordon Brown told Zimbabwe Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai that there were “great signs of progress” in Zimbabwe but more reforms were needed before Britain would start large-scale development aid to Zimbabwe.
£4 million will go towards food aid, whilst 31 million pounds is for school text books. Gordon Brown also added, “we are prepared to go further in offering more transitional support if the reform programme on the ground gains momentum.
Prime Minister Tsvangirai who is on the final leg of his journey which has taken him to America and other different European countries, sourcing for financial aid for Zimbabwe’s transitional government to help in rebuilding the country.
A number of countries have pledged financial support to Zimbabwe and are prepared to give even more aid if the necessary reforms are carried out in the country. It’s now up to the politicians in Zimbabwe. Do they want development in the country? Are they prepared to do what’s necessary in order to get financial support from the international community.
Zimbabwe must become a democratic country again, one in which there is rule of law. Human rights abuses and victimisation of activists should be stopped. There should be press freedom. People should be provided with well balanced information, if it’s in the best interest of the public then it should be provided to them.
It’s up to us Zimbabweans to work together and rebuild the country. But, can we do it? I believe we can.

My Internet is one thing I can not live without. At home and on the mobile and at work, I have to get on the Internet. Now the UK government plans to have broadband on the Underground, that will add a bit of life on the Tube.
Tube passengers could also make mobile phone calls while underground under government plans for a digital revolution. Under the plans, the whole of the railway network will have Internet access by 2012. Exciting times ahead for London travellers who like to be connected. What do you think about Internet and mobile phones on the Tube?

It’s a real funny world. A new dress code that requires City Hall staff to wear underwear is being enforced.
The City Council of Brooksville, Florida passed the law, 4-1 the only opposition came from the Mayor. The Mayor thinks the law will take away freedom of choice. The city employees must also wear deodorant. Does this mean there are still people who do not wear underwear in America? So, how did they know that some employees are not wearing underwear? But deodorant surely it should not be forced on people. Should be a matter of choice.

Anatomist Dr Gunther von Hagen is to unveil his latest exhibition showing two corpses having sex. The sex couple will be shown at The o2′s Body Worlds exhibition in London.
It is said to have caused a furore when it was exhibited in Germany, but von Hagens says he received hundreds of messages urging him to bring the exhibit to London. The man and women are said to have been consenting donors and agreed to be used to ‘highlight human reproduction’.
This kind of thing makes me sick, I wouldn’t pay to watch anything like that because even the thought of it makes me sick. So why would somebody come up with such an idea?? Would you watch an exhibition like that??? If NO, any reason?
