One of the craziest experiences of my trip occurred when a hugely famous Zimbabwean musician died(tuku) and he lived with his wife in the same area where my aunt’s house is in Norton and because this was a hugely respected musician (e.g Michael Jackson, elvis presley) the president went to pay his respects.
The president drove escorted along this road past the house with 50+ cars and armed troops with massive guns (I got a little cautious) it was crazy and because I was probably the only white person in Norton I had the police escorts on bikes waving at me
The president is so hated he needs alot of protection and his security will shoot anyone who does pull over or get out of the way and my uncle said to me to put my phone away because you “cannot take pictures because they will shoot you”
