Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 51105, member: 636"] President Mnangagwa launched a fierce campaign against drug dealers and substance abusers during a high-stakes gathering at State House yesterday. The head of state demanded law enforcement agencies crack down harder on criminals peddling dangerous substances across Zimbabwe. More than three million dollars poured into the anti-drug war chest from private donors and government officials. The president wants cartels exposed and shamed alongside convicted offenders who poison communities. Zimbabwe's leader declared the battle represents a fight for the nation's very soul and future. Government officials banned deadly homemade brews through fresh legislation targeting tumbwa and musombodhiya producers. Crystal meth dealers face stiffer penalties under updated Dangerous Drugs Act provisions. Authorities plan to fast-track the Drug Enforcement Agency Bill through parliament. The president ordered all government departments to prioritize the anti-drug mission. Local councils must provide buildings for conversion into treatment facilities across the country. Sixty-seven rehabilitation centers have been earmarked for drug survivors seeking recovery. Three centers already operate in Bindura, Kwekwe, and Victoria Falls while Harare's Wilkins Ward undergoes renovation. The 2025 budget allocates ZiG865 million for substance abuse programs. Over thirty-one thousand drug offenders have been arrested since the campaign began last year. Faith groups, traditional leaders, and communities must unite against the growing menace threatening Zimbabwe's development goals. [/QUOTE]
