Boniface comes up to the Zimbabwean border on his bicycle. He has two large bags over his shoulders. The guard stops him and says, "What's in the bags?"
"It's sand" answered Boniface.
The guard says, "We'll just see! Get off the bike."
The guard takes the bags and rips them apart; he empties them out and finds nothing in them but sand. He detains Boniface overnight and has the sand analysed at a poorly-funded Beitbridge laboratory, only to discover that there is nothing but pure sand in the bags. The guard releases Boniface, puts the sand into new bags, hefts them onto the man's shoulders, and lets him cross the border.
A week later, the same thing happens. The guard asks, "what have you got in that bag?". "Sand" says Boniface. The guard does his own thorough examination, as he cannot send the sand to get analysed because the laboratory has shut down due to corruption and gross mismanagement. Most of the equipment has been stolen as well.
So he concludes again, that the bags must contain nothing but sand. He gives the sand back to Boniface, and Boniface crosses the Border on his bicycle. This sequence of events is repeated every day for three years.
Finally, Boniface doesn't show up one day and the guard bumps into him in a beer hall at a farm recently invaded by war veterans, just outside Plum tree.
"Uribo, shamwari" says the guard, "I know you are smuggling something. It's driving me crazy. It's all I think about... I can't sleep. Just between you and me, what are you smuggling?"
Boniface wraps his lips around his skud and after taking a huge slurp he says.... "Bicycles."
