Last week, police arrested five suppliers of illicit beer at the Mukaradzi mining site in Mount Darwin.
Drug abuse has been on the rise in the country with local health facilities claiming they are overwhelmed by the rising number of mental health cases linked to drug and substance abuse.
Most patients have complications arising from crystal methamphetamine, commonly known as “mutoriro”, “dombo” or “guka.”
Most abused drugs include ganja cakes, a prohibited cough syrup called BronCleer (bronco), mbanje and illicit beers known as “musombodhiya” in street lingo.
President Mnangagwa recently expressed concern over drug abuse in the country, and he appointed a task force to hunt down drug peddlers.
