Simbarashe Chanachimwe led a Zimbabwe Republic Police anti-drug campaign through Mbare on July 18, 2025. The controversial figure faces widespread accusations of drug dealing within the same community. Social media users expressed outrage over his prominent role in the march against dangerous substances. Citizens compared the situation to having criminals lead law enforcement efforts. The event sparked viral criticism across online platforms.
Chanachimwe faced arrest in February 2023 during a nationwide drug operation. Police recovered cannabis sachets and plants from his alleged Matapi Flats base. Authorities granted him bail worth approximately 138 US dollars with reporting requirements. His criminal record also features a 2020 lockdown violation conviction alongside music producers. Critics question why someone with such history would spearhead anti-drug initiatives while families suffer from substance abuse problems.
