Urine, Good To The Last Drop! One Man Thought So Before His Arrest

A ZIMBABWEAN man has been jailed for two years after he sold urine to residents in a mining town claiming it was cooking oil, according to state media reports.

Piccard Mudzingwa, 28, approached one of the victims at a bus terminus in the southern mining town of Zvishavane
selling bottles containing a liquid he said was cooking oil, The Herald newspaper reported.

The victim discovered she had been duped when she was preparing dinner the following day and reported Mudzingwa to the police.

He was arrested when he attempted to repeat the trick on another woman.

Cooking oil is among commodities that are in short supply in Zimbabwe as the country battles an economic crisis with 165,000 per cent inflation and 80 per cent unemployment.
