ANTANANARIVO - Madagascar police forced citizens caught outside without a coronavirus face mask to sweep pavements on Monday, law enforcement officials said.
The new rule, which came into force on Monday, was announced on April 20 alongside the gradual lifting of lockdown measures in the three main cities."Seventy percent of people on the street respected the rule... because they are scared of having to sweep pavements," the head of anti-coronavirus operations, general Elak Olivier Andriakaja, said on state television.
"Measures were taken before the sanctions fell into place to raise awareness and distribute mouth covers," Andriakaja added.Around 500 people in Antananarivo and Fianarantsoa were penalised on Monday, said police deputy head Christian Rakotobe. Antananarivo commissioner Hector Razafindrazaka said 25 people were sentenced on the spot and forced to sweep the capital's dusty streets.To date the Indian Ocean island-nation has detected 128 cases of coronavirus. No fatalities have been recorded so far and 75 patients have recovered.

Alleged school thieves caught in LimpopoSeven people believed to have been involved in break-ins at residences and school properties in the Mankweng area have been arrested, Limpopo police said on Monday. The ANC fought for freedom, Nelson Mandela said education brings freedom to children ... so those stealing and burning schools are stealing freedom, if others fought to death for freedom then those stealing freedom should lose all their freedom. If only our justice system was trustworthy to make an example of these heartless thugs. Harsh punishment should be given to all of them including arsonists.
