The house across the road has been empty for a couple of weeks. We thought we saw the owners moving mattresses and a stove out on a flat-bed truck. They did not come to say goodbye.
"I heard shouting late last night," our housekeeper says, wiping down the kitchen cupboards. "It was midnight. Screaming and screaming, like somebody had caught a tsotsi." Tsotsi means thief or criminal in the local Shona language.
I saw a small white sign on the gate opposite as I drove out this morning. ZRP, it says: Zimbabwe Republic Police.
