Seen it before

The [Zimbabwe's riot police] stopped Vusa and his friend and demanded to know why they were not dressed properly. Patriotic youths, they were told, must dress properly (Phekazvakanaka). These other fashions were not acceptable. With threats and coarse abuse they instructed Vusa to cut off the dreadlocks at once and the girl to change into some more modest attire.
