Police grabbed seven company bosses who made deadly booze at their Harare factory. Officers raided Samina Liquor Company after finding dangerous drinks being mixed up for local people. The foreign directors ran their business without proper papers from the government. Twenty-five workers also faced questioning about the illegal operation. Commissioner Paul Nyathi said the whole setup shocked him during his visit.
The company cooked up harmful alcohol that could poison anyone who drank it. Officials discovered the factory running wild without any safety checks or proper licensing. Police found out the directors came from other countries and started asking how they ever got permission to work here. The raid happened as part of a bigger fight against homemade drinks that hurt people across Zimbabwe. Government workers want to stop dangerous brews like musombodhiya and kambwa from reaching the streets.
Recent laws banned making these toxic drinks after many poisoning cases hit the news. The new rules came just weeks before police stormed the Arlington industrial area factory. Another group called the Kombucha directors already faced court for similar crimes. All the arrested people remain locked up as investigators dig deeper into their operation.
