Kelsea Tadiwa Tafirenyika, the second wife of President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s twin son Collins, appeared in court on Wednesday charged with unlawfully dealing in dangerous drugs.
The 22-year-old was arrested after police raided her home on Edgehill Close in Greystone Park, Harare, and allegedly recovered pethidine, morphine and cannabis from inside the house and from a vehicle parked in the yard.
She was remanded in custody to Thursday for a bail hearing after the National Prosecuting Authority indicated it would oppose her release pending trial.
According to the State, detectives from the CID Drugs and Narcotics unit in Harare acted on information received on 4 August alleging that Tafirenyika was selling pethidine from her residence.
“On 4 August 2026, detectives from CID Drugs and Narcotics, Harare received information to the effect that the accused was dealing in Pethidine at her place of residence,” the affidavit reads.
“On the same day at about 2000 hours, Detectives proceeded to house [on] Edgehill Close, Greystone Park, Harare and approached the accused’s premises.
“Detectives entered the accused’s bedroom and found her seated on her bed counting some ampoules, placing them on the bed.
“Detectives approached the accused, identified themselves to her as police detectives by producing identity cards and recovered 8 ampoules of Fresenius Pethidine, 10 ampoules of Verpat Pethidine and 7 x 1ml of Fresenius Morphine Sulphate from the accused.
“Detectives further carried out searches in the accused’s house and recovered 72 ampoules of Verpat Pethidine, 64 Fresenius Pethidine ampoules and 43 ampoules of Morphine Sulphate from drawers in the accused’s bedroom, leading to her arrest.
“Detectives also searched the accused’s White Lamborghini,… and recovered 5 rods of dagga from the driver’s armrest.”
