Loyd Phupa, a 51-year-old male, was arrested by the Southern Africa Regional Anti-Corruption Organisation (SARACO) members for selling dangerous dr-gs in Zororo Highfields, Harare. He was found in possession of 16 bottles of bronco and 6 satchets of dagga, also known as Skangi.
The arrest was made possible after SARACO members received information that Phupa and his employer, Rabwa Noiti, were selling dr_gs to youth in Highfields and Glennorah areas, bribing police officers to avoid arrest.
During the handover at ZRP Glennorah, a police officer received a call from Chief Inspector Ndhlamini, inquiring about the accused person and requesting assistance to release him. This incident highlights the rampant corruption in the public and private sectors.
Vice President Constantine Chiwenga has emphasized that corrupt individuals pose a significant security threat. In line with this, SARACO is supporting the government’s efforts to combat corruption, as echoed by the President and Chairperson of the Southern African Development Community (SADC) ¹.
Investigations and Next Steps:
Further investigations are being conducted by ZRP Glennorah, with a docket opened under RRB number 6134693. The accused person is expected to appear in court soon.
