Men sentenced to 9 years for possession of d@gga

Woman arrested over livestock theft

 

In a significant ruling delivered by the Beitbridge Magistrates’ Court, Never Ndambakuwa (33) of Dulibadzimu, Beitbridge, and Tapson Madyise (32) from Mapanzure Village, Chief Makumbe, Buhera, received a stern sentence of nine years for their involvement in the possession of a considerable quantity of dagga, also known as cannabis.

The incident that led to their arrest occurred on December 10, 2024, when Ndambakuwa was at the wheel of a truck that was stopped at a company premises during a routine police check.

Authorities suspected the truck may have been carrying illicit goods, prompting them to conduct a thorough search. This search, unfortunately for the accused, resulted in the discovery of three sacks filled with dagga, collectively weighing an alarming 78.54 kilograms.

The value of the recovered dagga was estimated at USD 7,854, highlighting not only the scale of the offense but also the potential financial motives behind such illicit activity.

Following the discovery, a police report was filed, which prompted an immediate investigation. Ndambakuwa, upon being apprehended, implicated his co-accused, Madyise, suggesting that the two men may have been collaborating in their illegal enterprise.

The case exemplifies the growing concerns regarding dr_g-related crimes in Zimbabwe as authorities continue to battle an increasing prevalence of narcotics throughout the region.

Kenya and South Africa have recently faced similar issues, making the prosecution of drug offenses paramount for maintaining public safety and order.

During the court proceedings, both men faced the judge with limited defenses regarding the possession charges. They were ultimately found guilty based on the compelling evidence presented by law enforcement, including the quantity of dagga and the circumstances surrounding their arrest.

Each accused received a sentence of ten years, but the court later suspended one year of that sentence for a period of five years on the condition that they exhibit good behavior.

The judge’s decision highlighted the severity of drug offenses and the implications they hold not only for public health but also for the social fabric of communities. In Zimbabwe, where dr_g use can lead to addiction and related societal problems, the ruling aims to discourage others from engaging in similar illicit activities.

Civil society activists and community leaders have welcomed the sentencing, viewing it as a necessary step in combating drug-related crimes that plague many neighborhoods.

The hope is that stringent measures will deter potential offenders and contribute to broader societal change. With the rising challenges posed by drug trafficking and abuse, effective law enforcement is critical in curbing this issue and protecting vulnerable populations.

The two men are expected to begin serving their sentences immediately, with their release contingent upon adherence to the terms set forth by the court.

In conclusion, the Beitbridge Magistrates’ Court’s ruling demonstrates the judiciary’s commitment to tackling drug offenses head-on.

By sentencing Ndambakuwa and Madyise to nine years in prison, the court has underscored the seriousness of dr_g possession and the multifaceted efforts needed from law enforcement, the community, and the justice system to combat the scourge of drugs effectively.
