Mudiwa catches thief….. gives him money
HARARE – Gospel rapper Mudiwa “Hood” Mutandwa claims he found a thief who had stolen his cap and gave him US$5 to stop stealing.
Narrating the incident on Facebook, MUDIWA said the man stole his “New York” cap, at the corner of Julius Nyerere and Jason Moyo, whilst he was driving with his car roof open.
Mudiwa says he then parked his car and looked for the thief, and when he found him he had already sold the cap for US$1.
Mudiwa said that he restrained people who wanted to assault the thief. He then drove off with the alleged thief and gave him $5 while demanding his cap back.
The Ndaita Mari singer confirmed the incident and said he chose to be at peace with the thief as a way of making him realize his wrongs.
“Sometimes we have to focus on the reason why people do bad things to us, when I realised that he had sold the cap my concern was now on him.
“I wanted him to be a changed person so the only way of doing it was to approach him gently not violently, that is why I stopped people from assaulting him and also why I gave him my money. I feel as a nation we should do a lot in rehabilitating people who live in the streets. They are part of our society and if we don’t help no one will,” Mudiwa said.
