A cop got busted with drugs inside the actual police station. A Gwanda officer, Knowledge Maposa, was convicted of possessing dangerous drugs. The court fined him three hundred dollars or three months in prison. This started with a tip to detectives late last year about drugs in his room. Officers searched his quarters located on police premises the next day.
They found dagga worth about one hundred twenty Zimbabwean dollars. They also seized a pipe used for smoking crystal meth. Maposa was arrested right there at the scene. In a separate case, the same court convicted another local resident. Sithembiso Sibanda was caught with dagga at her tuck shop. Police on patrol got information that she was selling it. A search of her home turned up twelve sachets weighing nearly half a kilogram.
She received a two-hundred-dollar fine or two months behind bars. The national prosecutor's office commented on the cases. They stated their commitment to holding all offenders accountable. Their position is that no one is above the law, not even a police officer. They promised to keep working with law enforcement and the courts. The authority also urged the public to report drug activities. They labeled the fight against substance abuse a national priority.
