Three countries in one day
Ronnie got on his bike and headed north-east out of Harare, passing Junu, Marewa and Mutoko on the way to the border at Nyamapanda. At the border post they:
-
tried to sell him 5 litres of petrol for R100 - “I will buy the 5 litres from you on one condition, and that is if you allow me to pour the petrol over you and light it…!”
-
attempted to bribe him - "I was about to get onto the bike and cross over to Mozambique, when a Police officer approached me and asked to see the Police Clearance Certificate for the bike… I told him I did not have one, but did have plenty of proof that the bike was mine, including a Carnet Certificate, which would not have been issued to me, had it not been so… He insisted I needed a clearance for the bike, and could not proceed without it…'But you can sort this out with a small donation to me, and I will let you go through…' he said. 'Oh, no…' was my reply, 'That would be illegal, and I don’t want you to get into trouble with your superiors… I better go back to South Africa and get the correct documents…' I gave him a long look and then decided not to beat around the bush any longer…'My friend, I will not bribe you or any other person to exit or enter a country… If you insist on having this document, which I do not have, then I am at fault, and will rather go back to where I came from to correct it, than pay you to look the other way… So, what is it going to be?'…He stared at me for a while and then shrugged his shoulders and said, 'You may proceed…!'"
