Zimbabwean Parliament refuses lawmaker entry, due to his colorful outfit (PHOTO)

Zimbabwean member of parliament, Trevor JI Saruwaka was denied entry
into his work place because his outfit supposedly flouted house rules.
The lawmaker turned up to work dressed in a multicolour suit after the
colours of the national flag. There's more to the story however. In
recent times, anti-government members in politics, media and the mass
populace have adopted the #ThisFlag campaign as a form of protest
against president Mugabe's party, Zanu-PF which has ruled the country
for decades.



The government hit back by reviving legislation that makes
it a crime to "abuse" the national flag.



As lawyers have pointed out,
it's been left up to the government to define what constitutes abuse.
Higher Education Minister Jonathan Moyo said in a tweet that Saruwaka
being denied entry "was for being inappropriately dressed. Even bush
lawyers & fools know that Parliament has a dress code. It's in the
standing orders!"
