The legislator for Norton, Temba Mliswa was embarrassed in Norton after he tried to force vendors to wear masks.

In a video circulating on social media, Temba Mliswa is seen pleading with vendors, encouraging them to wear masks however the vendors ignored the message from the politician.

When Mliswa realised that the vendors were refusing to wear the masks, he threatened to come with the police the following day.

The refusal to wear masks comes few days after the President Emmerson Mnangagwa announced that the country will be under lockdown for the next two weeks.

It also comes at a time when thousands are dying in the neighbouring countries.
