Hi everyone, it was a really terrible experience in the prison. I got arrested and spent 3 weeks under terrible condition figuring out how can they do this. How can they torture a person with no evidence, not even a crime... I hope you are enjoying my videos! Please, do not forget to subscribe, like, share and also check the paid membership offers.

I appreciate your support you have for me here. Though we have to share such experiences with people who are just planning to visit Zimbabwe in the future

@@Meikles888 well... I am not sure what you say, the google translation does not make sense... You are talking about tearing some Tswana Pastor.. Well, dude... I know you love your country... but building an image on lies and false accusation of others to discredit them... that is not really a way to go... Also you are accusing me of being a spy... I am sorry, but you need to understand what spy means... In the 21st century the value of taking a video on public in Zimbabwe is worth exactly 0. Yes, there are spies, but no one would pay flight tickets, several years of travelling for me to build a cover up story, all the flight tickets in order to get a 30 second normal video from a street in Zimbabwe... Internet is already full of such content... Spies are usually high level people working in politics with connection to secret information... I know you like to watch movie, but they are not always a reality, bro...
First, I'm sorry to hear about your experience in Zimbabwe. In your capacity as a content creator, my advice is to try and find someone local to guide you. I have watched numerous RU-vid content creators getting into trouble when filming in some foreign countries. There is an American RU-vidr who creates content on loca food who came to Zimbabwe and went around Zim shocasing local and street food and had no issues. But when he went to Egypt to create the same content his filming gear was confiscated at the airport and he only got it back when he was returning back to his country after paying over $300 for storage. So every country is different and there are times when it's just not your day.
@@Meikles888 well sure.. a country that does such drama is not a country that attracts tourists... Zimbabwe is beautiful, and once they stop this, it will become popular
@dudy Did you offer them a bribe? Sometimes, that's what the trumped-up charges are about. The Zimbabwean 's generally are corrupt from top to bottom- sadly .
Sorry about your horrible experience. Most of the people in Zim are lovely. However, the same can’t be said of the evil regime and institutions such as law enforcement and judiciary whose only purpose is to serve the interests of the evil regime.
@@patthompson8591 unfortunately... Maybe I will never return, but I would be extremely grateful if my case would change these manners and people would be treated fairly! Not only in Zimbabwe but all over the world! 🙏
@dudy please spread it bro Zimbabwe is a very dangerous country in southern Africa no freedom of speech no rights at all for me I left Zimbabwe in 1986 because of the genocide on my tribe left for UK never came back
@@jabundlovu3017 oh my God :(... it is sooooo sad!!!! I hope people could live freely and without fear :( :(... Countries should serve to all the people, not just their elites... Have you been to Zim since you left? I think it has changed a lot... :(
@@dudy haven't been because of their oppressive tendency I remember they were forcing us to pin down dad's so they can torture them to death imagine holding down your father to be killed that's Zimbabwe and they'll be laughing
@@kudakwashemugova2570 doesn't matter what's going on, this should never have happened, *Full Stop*..!! Zim has a very bad name as it is. That's why folk have been told to not go to Zim.
Honestly don't know how you managed to get arrested. I lived in Zimbabwe for 6 years and got up to a lot of shit, including getting kicked out several times for working without a permit. I think the issue was they were looking for a bribe at first and then once they think you're up to something they'll try to get you on anything. Im always extremely careful filming in the country as you never know when you could be targeted
It’s a sign of failed governance and leadership so they start suspecting everything to be bad. In most cases the country can turn into a dictatorship and crazy territory even for the tourists
@@PetersKeorilengMoatswi crazy right :D... Also.. to add up... there was this SADC meeting and hundreds of people were put in jail in the frantic action to fill up the prisons...
@dudy there u go again,let me school you little man.A dictator is someone who refuses to be a puppet of the Czech Republic and her western allies.Stop being sent to Africa to create this stupid little drama of yours,if you want to be treated like a god,please go to Kenya or South Africa.And u were not a tourist but a drama seeker,now you are sounding like a missed off prom queen, and anyone sympathizing with u here are nothing but a bunch of fools.
I spent 4 weeks in Zimbabwe prison- on my last 2 days l was transferred from Masvingo remand prison to Harare remand prison yet l was found not guilty. I wonder why can’t they build prisons for tourists and stop putting locals and prisoners in the jail cells 😮. It was so unlawful
Right this is going to be sent overseas, to stop people to travel to Zim, as this is not the first time it has happened, it's happened to friends of mine and other people, for Zim it's disgusting behaviour. It's portraying such a bad image of this country. There's nothing here for tourist.
@cathyweston9209 - 🤣Good job, only real tourists will come, not poor pretenders like you. People have been coming during the worst times, they wont stop coming because of you and your bald Czech.
Thanks for watching and your interest ❤️☺️🖤 i really appreciate it!. I plan to post it towards the end of October, but i may change.. I’m still working on it.. you can check this playlist: i will put all the zimbabwe videos there ;) Zimbabwe: The Great Zimbabwe 🇿🇼 ru-vid.com/group/PLgwozc-IeBetgY0N5Cmsoe3TbzqAX3e1r
This is why when you decide to film in other countries you should first approach local tourism or find a follower and consult them on how to film and certain laws in their country
That’s why I said you should always find a local to guide you because you might be at a good place at a wrong time, could’ve been a special meeting nearby and then tgere you are filming. I’m not trying to justify but I’m just saying it’s always good to find a local to help you who knows the city better than you. We had cases of USA agents who were caught recording which turns they were CIA agents from the states
@@dudy hope you enjoy your stay, I prefer you find zim RU-vidrs to help you likes of @MrZim or any other to help but anyways have fun and enjoy the most of it
@@Sullyboyyy375 no, I did not enjoy. The entire stay I was held in prison. I understand that there may be some agents... But honestly... A lot of it is just fake news... Do you really think that someone would pay a flight ticket, hotel, a lot of money etc. to take a picture of a street in Zimbabwe? At this century?... I really doubt it.. spies in these days are highlevel politicians, or people with good contacts, who usualy live in the country... not a person who is 4 days in the country with no ties, no suspicion... this was just taken way too far... :(...
@@Sullyboyyy375 no time left... I will tell in other video how it ended... But I did not get a second to enjoy... they continued making unnecessary drama until the last second.. even when it was proved that I am innocent and they must let me go :(....
I am Zimbabwean. I am sorry this happened to you. The issue is that you appear to be white and recording in a Zanu PF city. You didn't know. I get that. It's a rogue regime that is afraid of journalists. If you weren't recording , none of this could have happened. I am so ashamed of CID Masvingo. It's not like you were tying to cross illegally into South Africa. No wander why Zimbabwean Army always beat theses stupid police. Shame on them
@@ruthpartridge6314 truly sad .. I wish I would have had chance to see other places than just a prison... the only city I saw -> Bulawayo was just amazing! and btw.. in the comment you said Zanu PF city... what does that mean? Zanu is a tribe?
Very sorry mate but ought to believe it was all abt the timing...wrong time at the wrong place.Alot was happening during that period...national security threats...Next time may u proceed through the necessary channels be it I.. Immigration, media clearance, police clearance...Zimbabwe loves u don't lose hope
If there’s was alot going on that time then they should be knowing that also tourists exist - Like it’s not my fault that the government can’t maintain the system well
@dudy Oh yes. I am Zimbabwean myself. It's quite normal for govt officials to arrest people who say things that make the govt look bad. This is the first time however I have heard a foreign person getting arrested for stating something many people point out. I don't know how old you are but Zimbabwe is no different to Czechia during Soviet times. Best way to explain it.
@@Tripleexel It is really sad.. I was also really shocked... I also never heard of using tourists for thess dirty games :(... Usually, countries value their tourists... But here... I was really so confused... Also, they talked a lot about some SADC summit... some people in the prison told me about it... But I still do not understand what summit has to do with jails... Yes! This is exactly Czechoslovakia in those times... I am so happy that I did not really ever experience it, because when I was born it was already different.. But I know these things from stories and movies... but I could never really believe it... but now I even experienced it myself :(...
Check out my RU-vid channel videos and see if there’s any negative content and l guess sharing experience over a country it’s not bad- it can be positive or negative
@OphirZw Iwe he started in Botswana asking about Zimbabwe and he wanted the tswanas to diss Zimbabweans but they were not buying it.The tswanas were really positive about zimbos and he didn't like it.Serves him.right let's hope he learned his lesson.
You are very unlucky that you didn't do your homework well. The timing was wrong. There was SADC summit so political it was not wise to do what you were do. And also the chioce of words when you find something that is not right. I am a Zimbabwean and i don't like most things that are happening there but i cant let someone come in my house and show the whole community my nakedness. I hope you understand. That clip you said about electricity and not being able to shave it appears as if you're on a mission to discredit people to come to Zim on SADC summit. Many RU-vidrs come and go without any problem coz they know what to say. Be positive about other and we Zimbabweans are the ones to tell you that thank you for what you did but things are not well. You will get into trouble for content creation. Its not in Zimbabwe only, be happy they have released you. In Bob time you should be there by now. Those with eyes have heard a shona proveb
In Europe if someone opens up to you and tell you what’s not right then you should be very happy but if you know what’s wrong and you don’t want to talk about it then means you are scared
@@dudy yes in Europe. Europe is different from Africa my guy, but trust me Europe is worse than Africa. I am an African living in Europe. The systems we are using in Africa now are the same as in Europe but here in Europe they try to hide it by all means. It very unfortunate that you want to become a legend in the country that is not yours. Why I am saying that, here where I am now I am a foreigner I have limitations i don't just say things. I don't share same rights as citizens as we think. Any mistake i will be deported
@@tatendanyakudya4042 I don´t want to be a legend... I just wanted to travel... Honestly, Europe is a huge continent with different country, while most of them have freedom of speech. This applies to everyone, even to foreigners... do you know the case of Cathrine Gun? She leaked a secret information. She could have been sentenced for the same.. 20 years like me... The authorities took her husband and threatened to deport him to pressure on her... The difference is that the system did not allow them to succeed.. She spent 1 day in detention with all the human rights and after all she was not even charged with anything... On the contrary, I was arrested and than the police tried to build a story, continuously accusing me, denying me my rights, even drinking water, lying manipulating, exporting just to find anything they can put on my... Honestly, I have never ever hear of such case in modern western Europe. These are the things of past. Yes, the system in Europe and Africa is virtually coming from the same ground... but with one difference... After the second world war, Europe significantly reformed the system....
Zimbabwe regime is known to shut freedom of speech and any form of criticizm. There is no freedom there. Please choose your tourist destinations wisely.
They probably thought you were up to something because we had cases of people recording which turns they were doing illegal stuff but ok sorry about your experience
No you should not pay any bribe because they get used to scam money from people and this just even becomes worse. 1 - Both locals and tourists will not enjoy the country 2- It brings gridness in police 3 - the police will only focus on money and forget their job
A bribe is one against theose people of Zimbabwe who are free of corruption . Corruption is totally outside of the Bible and the ways of all Christians
@@stevemcgowen I understand. But there was no choice like this... Unfortunately, they were to fanatic to even think of money... Some people are just evil...
When we discuss Zimbabwe has its dark side we get the bashing online that we badmouthing a great country, it is a beautiful country but ruled by an authoritarian regime 😢
@@Bourne-fu8bz well.. you can tell us how many... Yes there are many cases, but it is also because they allow to talk about it.. In Zim many are even scared to talk about it... And also it does not justify anything... Do you want to say that if there would be a murder somewhere else, it would be ok to also kill? Btw it is estimated in the USA that 1-5% in prison are innocent: www.hsph.harvard.edu/magazine/magazine_article/a-matter-of-conviction/#:~:text=Conservative%20estimates%20suggest%20that%201,crimes%20they%20did%20not%20commit. ... and USA is known to be doing really bad in this metric.. Does Zimababwe even disclose it? does anyone even know?... Why are there all the time those amnesties?....
@dudy - On April 14, 2021, three officers from the Honolulu Police Department (USA) shot and killed 29-year-old Lindani Myeni fronting a home, a Black South African who played professional rugby. This after a Karen called the police on him. His crime - knocking on the door and asking for directions. A Karen is someone who dislikes black people so they will make false claims to get you arrested. Actually, the USA has the strictest laws, you will be arrested for starring, whistling at a woman, failure to water your lawn, jaywalking, loitering in a neighborhood, littering and so on. The police there always finds a reason to shoot even if you are unarmed.
We need to acknowledge that every country/community has its own rules and we must obey them regardless of who you are or where you come from. It's more advisable to ask permission from authorities.
@@panachebosspana2386well… can you say what law did I break? Because even despite the heavy effort and lies from the police, the court said I did not break any law… you will see in the next video that i was even charged for “breaking” a law that does not even exist and on top of it even if it existed i did not break that law in reality… it’s only that the police officer said a lie.. so?…
The fact that you are here on social media to tarnish Zimbabwe. I can say every suspect must be remanded and if found no guilt will be released. Building tourist prisons, mr we dont have money for that. We still need to fix roads and hospitals.
I truly sympathize BUT I have seen vloggers in Harare ( An American guy accompanied by her Zimbabwean girlfriend) doing worse things like filming the residence of the ex-president, they were using stealth cameras fixed on the car. Those are the kind of people who should be detained. I think your video clip whereby you said "there is no water in the city yet the president is coming" was touching on political issues. These are the kind of videos that will put you in trouble in any country. Never involve yourself in politics in non-western countries. I am now starting to get the full picture. Zimbabwe is not a walkover. There are people who come to Zimbabwe with ill intentions based on disrespectful views they read in the media. I have been to many African countries. There are lots of scammers in the shops and streets. In Zimbabwe we dont scam tourists or customers despite the harsh economic challenges, yet some visitors will come here looking to disrespect us. We are hospitable, disciplined, hardworking and intelligent, but dont try us.
I think in most African countries if you talk about politics you are dead 😵 but for my issue l was not aware that this could be used to create fake cases later on l was told that one of the office officers who arrested me never wanted white people for some reasons
@dudy those are not fake stories,I watched that same vid he is talking about and felt disgusted by u.Fix the Czech Republic, we are Zimbabweans and let us do that ourselves. Stay in your lane,we are not sleeping sir.
@@OphirZw I am not sure what you talk about? why were you disgusted? And fix what exactly? We don't have a police that is snatching tourists and making false cases... We used to, but now that is a thing of past. We have already fixed this...
You made a huge mistake but you've chosen to ignore it and behave like a victim Zimbabwe will remain the lovely country that it is and we still have more tourists visiting us
What mistake? To visit Zimbabwe?…. Well… maybe you don’t know, but it’s a very beautiful country! Once they stop this kind of nonsense it will receive a lot of tourists
@@dudy I did not say the mistake was in visiting Zimbabwe, you see there you go again. Keep at it, don't get surprised when you find yourself in prison again in another country
@@jeffstarzw so what was the mistake? Why should I find myself in prison in another country? Myabe, you are not aware of if, but in most of the countries the police do not lie and make false accusation to put people in jail... that is an exception, not a normality...
I am sorry to but my country which is czech republic never did any colonial activities in africa l wish people could know that even white people countries are many yet some were also colonized by fellow white peoples
@@dudy I didn’t know about colonization in the west by the west…. Coming from kenya we were taught in school about the European conference in Berlin to come and colonize Africa and that’s why I generalized you. Having experienced a bit of racism I get so mad about how we Kenyans love everyone but don’t get the same love in some European countries. But it all goes down to an individual. I have been watching you Kenyan and Indian blogs and I love them and I hope zimbabwe official can do better.
@@Sudiya.m asante ;)... yeah.. Kenya was really fun country... the people are nice there! And to your surprise, Kenya is about twice longer living in the independence than my country... We only got indepence in 1989.. Yeah, you mean scramble for Africa... I am not sure how it is thought in the schools.. very often, history is used to create a narrative... Many people in Africa blame this for all the problems of Africa... But what about another view point? The scramble for Africa divided trade interests of the countries, so they dont start wars.. can you imagine how terrible it would be if the countries start fighting? Do you think France would bring people from their home country to find army Britain brought to Africa before? No... they would use locals, costing a loooot of lives... So maybe this scramble actually saved a lot of lives... I am just suggesting that things are never just black and white... The only thing that is known is that colonies were there already... They did not do the scramble and than came... Also, do the schools also teach that is was the british, who abolished slavery? just visit the museum of slavery on Zanzibar... The british government paid a looot of money to the sultan to do so... And how about connecting the countries to the global economy? Building railway, roads... I am not saying colonialism was good... but it is just what it was... It was completely different mentality back than. Also at that time, my country did not even exist. Many people did not even speak the local language, my nation was almost wiped out of the history... but than we had an so called "awakening of the nation" When we get independence, we were however colonised again... Just as was the scramble for Africa, there was an iron curtain in Europe where west and east divided the continent into 2 halves after the second world war... Yes, we could be gringing and crying about the past... Basically my country was crippled and any development was frozen for some 4 decades... Nevertheless in the 1989, we decided to move forward, modernise, join the global economy, create a better ystem and integrate into the world economy. We brought down the boarders, smashed many barriers and fully opened the economy... Yes, some people still cry and gringe about the past... but at least we do it while enjoying vacation on a beach :D (just 30 years ago it was unimaginable for most people to even see the sea....)
@@dudy first and foremost the British didn’t abolish slave trade in Zanzibar to free Africans but to annex the port of Zanzibar. They even had a sign with mombasa to lease mombasa to the greater part of Kenya in order to transport the goods they stole from Kenya and uganda. This agreement is one of the reasons why Kenya was deemed insecure in 2010 because the coastal people felt underrepresented. Remember the coast had been colonized by Arabs before the British came in and that’s why they opted to work with Arabs. It was a deal. Kenyans paid tribute to sultan not the British. Don’t get it twisted!!!!!! Secondly Africans were directly impacted in the western world war 2. The Germans and British in TZ(this may have been the biggest one and caused mass recruitment you can even Google), Italians and British in Somalia(possibly one of the reason why Somalia remains under war because they were already one unit) Nigeria Zambia and Zimbabwe and many others. Africans were directly recruited to fight for these countries in India and even here in Africa. My two grandparents one of Kenyan afroarab ethnicity was sent to burma and he was awarded land🤦🏾♀️ the other grandparent was of Tanzanian origin and he too fought in the war and survived. This is to say we were directly impacted by the western war!!! Thirdly slavery didn’t end because of European mercy. They even partook in the enslavement of west Africans in the USA. To this date the blacks community still complains of micro aggressions. Independence in Africa didn’t come from the mercy of the west. Kenyans died. Castrated, mutiliated, rap-ed. The group was called mau mau and had the biggest concentration camps in the world at that time. This is all free to Google. Africans died to receive their freedom. Fourthly the infrastructure done by the west was to aid them steal resources like the Kenyan railway. The British annexed African plantation and enslaved Kenyans in their own land. Once the crops were harvested the took to Britain (that’s why Kenya is the 3 highest tea and coffee exporter).It took way too long to build the rail cause Kenyans opposed it. Right now it is all ruins. Almost nothing exists from then. The modern roads and rails are all loans from china with Chinese engineers so don’t even try to claim credit. Where is the US with all the crazy rent? If that’s what you call living modern then let me live in the African highlands and enjoys the sand beaches!!! There is nothing to see about the sides of the coin. Y’all should have come to trade and we would have done it peacefully. There were Africans who collaborated with the British like kabaka mutesa but sadly because of the evil nature of Brits they killed those leaders
This guy he is lying he only want to tarnish our image. AFRICAN Tigress ,Steve ndukwu,wode Maya and some Americans RU-vidrs they always visit Zimbabwe n shooting vedios anytime anywhere but they never get arrested 😏😏😏
This guy is not actually lying but the police are very clever considering the time he was in the country. There were some delegates and dignitaries coming. And the political environment was coded red. So the clip that he shows about not having electricity was the one that made him a suspect. He said it in a mocking way. Many RU-vidrs come and go without any problem. When you're in a country that is not yours, be positive. Us Zimbabwean we know that we don't have electricity but we still want people to come and visit as tourists. It's like you were discouraging people to come. Imagine some SADC members met your videos before they came they would not come.
@@tatendanyakudya4042 well.. honestly if there is no electricity, there is no electricity.. why lying? It is not connected with any positivity or negativity... like if you write a review of a hotel, do you have to lie, because you need to stay positive, or do you just say how things are?... Anyways wouldn´t it be better to invest in actually having the electricity instead of investing so much resources in courts, prisons and training police into lying and frantically arresting people? What has SADC members have to do with that? Do you really think that South Africa would not come, because someone says there was no electricity? And also, how would they even know when I did not post any video? Well it is like if someone buys a knife, will it make him suspect and would it be ok to put that person in prison for murder? no it would not... the person just bought a kitchen knife and the police lied that it is a murder weapon and that he killed 3 people... because they want to protect negativity?... now it starts being ridiculous...
Itchy Boots, Drew Binksy, Fearless & Far, Sabbatical, Wode Maya, Tayo, Steve Ndukwu, Marwa, Miss Trudy and the Top Gear crew by Jeremy Clarkson have visited Zimbabwe. They never got into trouble. You are a small youtuber, nothing special.
Hmm so seems you are happy with what happened to me- crazy : small RU-vidrs are also content creators l don’t think Drew Binksy started big the way you see him now right? The same thing might happen to you when you travel somewhere
@@stevemcgowen Wode Maya was busy hanging out with local politicians doing party political broadcasts attacking other political parties. So yeah makes sense he had an easy time
This guy is lying the is no ATM that works in Zimbabwe unless you are a residency because the is no USD in banks.We have so many people who came to Zimbabwe and shoot video small and big RU-vidr so why you and yes you were so negative on your videos and thats why the took you because you were so negative so next time respect peoples countries thanks
@@dudy he is saying you were negative in those people, the police thought maybe you were exposing zim, spreading the negative, likes is electricity problems, we don’t like that, if you’re here to enjoy just have fun and stay out of peoples business exposing the negative side..we had people before they literally come and all they do is mock zim…I think that’s why they took you
@@dudy you dont visit someones house to mock them or expose what they have or what the do not have thats why they took you because you were saying negative things that can impact even in our tourism and other peoples business
That’s why I said you should always find a local to guide you because you might be at a good place at a wrong time, could’ve been a special meeting nearby and then tgere you are filming. I’m not trying to justify but I’m just saying it’s always good to find a local to help you who knows the city better than you
