Minister warns on drugs, sport spotlight turns crisis to hope

Zimbabwe's Sports Minister dropped by a youth soccer tournament in Chikomba District to talk about the country's drug crisis, and he told families they need to step up because the problem hits communities every single day. Anselem Sanyatwe said young people are getting pulled into substance abuse because of economic pressure and limited options for recreation, but sports can redirect that energy toward better outcomes.

The minister praised legislator Tatenda Mavetera for organizing the annual event at Garwe Stadium, saying activities like soccer and netball keep kids away from harmful choices. He pushed for stronger youth leagues and creative programs while telling parents, teachers, and business leaders they all have roles to play in tackling the epidemic.
