Zimbabwe furore over loincloths, chairs, beds, cottages and pubs.
2006-02-03
Excerpt:

Twin Zimbabwean brothers arrested for wearing loincloths have agreed to end their shocking campaign for traditional dress and wear shirts and shorts.

'Mentally colonised'

Since their release, their father has been shielding them from the media. But prior to their arrest, the 22-year-olds said that they had received a calling from God to give up their western clothing when they were living in the UK. If human nature developed from apes, so there's development in life

They had spent two years studying there, but left after Tafadzwanashe was arrested on fraud allegations and deported.

The brothers said that those who look down on them for their decision were "mentally colonised", as they were just going back to how things were before Europeans arrived in Africa.

The twins also shunned chairs and beds and sat and slept only on the floor.

Nasty Colonial Britain, ...clothing, chairs, beds, humbug!
