A woman from Harare was in court on Thursday. Her name is Wadzanai Siyamachira. She is 38 years old.
The police think she had illegal drugs. They say she had cocaine.
On Thursday afternoon, detectives got a tip. They heard Wadzanai might be selling drugs. She lived on Eighth Street and Herbert Ushewokunze Avenue.
The detectives watched the area. They saw two women who looked suspicious. They searched the women but didn't find any drugs.
The detectives asked to look in the women's apartment. The women said yes, so they took the detectives there.
Inside, the detectives found Wadzanai. They searched her, too, and discovered three small bags of white powder in her jeans pocket.
The detectives took the powder. They arrested Wadzanai. Tests showed the powder was cocaine. It weighed about 3 grams.
The cocaine could be sold for around $120 on the street. That is a lot of money.
Wadzanai had to go to court. The magistrate's name was Mrs. Appolonia Marutya.
Wadzanai will stay in jail for now. The court will decide on Tuesday if she can have bail.
It is against the law to have dangerous drugs like cocaine in Zimbabwe. The police are working hard to stop drug crimes in Harare.
