A man in Zimbabwe has been beaten black and blue after he was caught shoplifting.

The incident happened yesterday.

According to reports, it was the man’s birthday, unfortunately he had no money to spice up his special day.

Instead he resorted to go to one of the local shops to help himself by stealing a bottle of wine.

However, it did not go as planned as he was nabbed by the owners of the shop.

When he was apprehended he was beaten like no man’s business.
