Mashonaland West Province plans to build rehabilitation centers in each of its 14 local authorities to combat drug and substance abuse. Provincial Affairs and Devolution Minister Marian Chombo said District Development Coordinators will lead fundraising efforts with support from over 100 mining companies operating in the region. The government wants to establish public facilities because private centers remain unaffordable for most residents.
Chombo emphasized the need to strengthen border controls at Chirundu and Kariba to stop drug trafficking into Zimbabwe. She said the initiative supports President Emmerson Mnangagwa and First Lady Auxillia Mnangagwa's anti-drug programs. Brampo Quarry Mining Company representative Brian Bangira confirmed the private sector will help fund government efforts to address substance abuse problems across the province.
