There’s obviously something very wrong with Zimbabwe.
The Swokanjele blog reports:
This secretly filmed footage (also featured on SW Radio Africa last week, and now on YouTube) shows police recruits undergoing training at Tomlinson depot in Harare, Zimbabwe. The trainers ‘train’ them by holding them down and beating them with batons. This is apparently referred to as ‘pay day’.
It reminds me of the beatings we took as first year students in Sonop Tehuis Pretoria. Not quite as bad mind you.

Jesus, I suppose violence is so deeply ingrained there now. The video man’s laugh is quite chilling to listen to.
