Back to normal in Maz

I can happily report that Mazabuka now seems back to its hot, sleepy self. The riots are yesterday’s news with conversations being dominated instead by the latest truck disaster (brakes failing as an overloaded lorry travels down the steep main street of the town, loses control and crashes into some shops and passersby) and infidelity gossip (love triangle in the local Council revealed after the husband and mistress were involved in a car accident late one night). Back to the riots, all of Mazabuka’s top police officers have been transferred with immediate effect as a result of their mishandling of the situation. A number of police officers have been charged (not clear with what yet) for throwing the tear gas into the crowded bar. And the rioters and thieves have returned back to their communities; without trace for now. At work, we are still waiting for our funding from Government for this quarter to materialise which means the office move remains on hold; as I said things are happily back to normal.
