A cop gets popped holding drugs inside his own police station, proving the irony truly never dies. Officer Knowledge Maposa, a 32-year-old based in Gwanda, caught a fine for unlawful possession of dangerous drugs last year. The Gwanda Magistrate’s Court gave him a choice between a three-hundred-dollar penalty or a three-month vacation behind bars.

Authorities moved on a tip they received late last year. Detectives got word that Maposa was storing illegal substances in his room at the police premises. Officers conducted a search the very next day.

They found dagga with a street value of around ZiG120. A J-pipe used for smoking crystal meth was also recovered during the raid. His arrest followed immediately after the discovery.

The National Prosecuting Authority confirmed the conviction and sentence. This whole situation paints a pretty standard picture of internal discipline issues. A fine seems like a light touch for a lawman breaking the very laws he enforces.

Drop your thoughts on whether a fine cuts it for a police officer caught with drugs on official property.
