What I witnessed

16/1/2013

Today  I  witnessed  the  police  confiscate  goods  from  people  selling  them  on  the  side  of  the  street. The Police drove up and parked their car. Then  of  a  sudden  the  people  who  were  selling  the  goods  got up, grabbed  their  stuff  and  ran  away, all  except an  old  lady  who  could  not  run. She  tried  to  go  away  but  the  police  caught up  to  her  and  took  her  three  bags  of  about  200  pairs  of   shoes. I  then  watched  the  police pour  the  shoes out  of  the  bags  and  put  them in  their own  bags. The  bags  were  put  in  the  police  car  and  the  police drove  off. I was  thinking  about  it  and  was  wondering  why  they  took  the  goods  away  from  them. I  know  it  is  illegal  to  sell  goods  on  the  side  of  the  street  but  they  are  just  trying to  make  a  living. I  thought  about  how  their  children  would  suffer  because  their  parents  would  not  be  able  to  pay  their  school  fees, they  would  miss  school  and  not  get  a  good  education  and  the  poverty  cycle  would  just  continue.
